As Trump edges toward war with Iran, his ‘secretary of war’ is dangling from a palm tree in flip-flops with Dr. Oz

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was spotted enjoying a beachside brunch in Palm Beach with Dr. Mehmet Oz this week, even as reports suggest President Trump is close to launching a major military strike against Iran. Dr. Oz, who serves as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) chief, posted about the meetup on social media

He wrote on X: “Secretary Pete Hegseth visited us for a beachside brunch. He can turn a leisurely afternoon into a MAHA extravaganza with tree pull-ups, a cold plunge, and a Mediterranean feast!” According to The Daily Beast, the photos Oz shared show Hegseth, 45, and Oz, 65, both visibly suntanned, dipping their hands into a tub of water.
