Anonymous administration officials have warned that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has been giving President Donald Trump an overly optimistic and distorted picture of the Iran war. Officials and analysts say Hegseth's repeated claims of air dominance come with serious caveats, fueling concerns inside the administration that his messaging risks misleading both the public and the president. "Pete is not speaking truth to the president," an administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Washington Post.
