Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said “this is only just the beginning” of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran and warned that more American casualties can be expected.
Hegseth was speaking to CBS News’s 60 Minutes after Mojtaba Khamenei was named as Iran’s new supreme leader following the death of his father in the initial wave of airstrikes, global oil prices surged past $100 per barrel, and a seventh U.S. servicemember was killed after President Donald Trump had attended the dignified transfer of the first six soldiers killed at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware.
