Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in an interview with CBS 60 Minutes that the U.S. is tracking everything and factoring it into battle plans, when asked about reports that U.S. intelligence shows Russia is providing Iran with information that could help it strike American assets in the Middle East.
The American people can rest assured their commander-in-chief is well aware of whos talking to who, Hegseth said. And anything that shouldnt be happening, whether its in public or back-channeled, is being confronted and confronted strongly.
Hegseth also downplayed the possibility that Russias assistance could be putting Americans in harms way.
Were putting the other guys in danger, and thats our job. So were not concerned about that, he said. But the only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think theyre gonna live.

(24,040 posts)QUESTION: And was there an imminent threat? Did you tell lawmakers that there was an imminent threat?
SECRETARY RUBIO: There absolutely was an imminent threat, and the imminent threat was that we knew that if Iran was attacked and we believe they would be attacked that they would immediately come after us, and we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded because the Department of War assessed that if we did that, if we waited for them to hit us first after they were attacked and by someone else, Israel attacked them, they hit us first, and we waited for them to hit us we would suffer more casualties and more deaths. We went proactively in a defensive way to prevent them from inflicting higher damage. Had we not done so, there would have been hearings on Capitol Hill about how we knew that this was going to happen and we didnt act preemptively to prevent more casualties and more loss of life.
