## Resource

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's handling of the Iran war is falling apart under scrutiny and we're breaking down exactly how. Since the war began on February 28, 2026, Hegseth has gutted civilian-harm oversight, presided over a school strike that killed more than 150 people with zero accountability months later, contradicted his own claims about Iran's nuclear program in front of Congress, and been publicly contradicted by his own troops after downplaying an attack on a U.S. base. Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones lays out the receipts on which the SECDEF should be judged. Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!
