U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseth lashes out now that he fears for his job

Pete Hegseth positions himself as a victim of political attacks in a video, comparing his situation to Donald Trump's impeachment attempts. He criticizes Republican Thomas Massie, who plans to propose impeachment, expecting support from Democrats after their recent electoral gains. Hegseth is blamed for the Republican losses, particularly due to his role in the Iran war, which has worsened global oil shortages and affected fuel prices in the U.S. He defends Trump's policies and his own military reforms, while the White House denies plans to dismiss him despite electoral setbacks. Both Trump and Vice President JD Vance attribute the losses to the Iran conflict.
