Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed Iran “begged” for the ceasefire after President Donald Trump’s threaten to wipe the nation’s civilization off the map unless a deal was made to end the conflict.
“No other president has shown the courage and resolve of this commander-in-chief,” Hegseth said during a Wednesday morning press conference. “President Trump forged this moment. Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it.”
