In his first Pentagon news conference since May, Hegseth said attempts to impeach US President Donald Trump had failed and added: "They will fail again." "This is not patriotism. This is sabotage," he said. Referring to the Iran war, he said: "I stand beside every one of these operations. I was proud to execute them, and I would do it again tomorrow."
