Dating back to his military service at Guantanamo, Pete Hegseth is a former Power Line correspondent. He is also, oh, yeah, Secretary of Defense. Along with Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine (some call him “Raizin’”), Secretary Hegseth held the Pentagon briefing on our strikes on the three Iranian nuclear facilities struck last night. I have cued the Department of Defense video of the press conference below to start with Hegseth’s statement. General Caine’s explanation of the attack — “Operation Midnight Hammer” — begins at about 22:40 of the video.
