⚡U.S. President Donald Trump, on 15 Mordad, rejected reports about the possibility of removing Pete Hegseth, the country’s defense minister, saying he was «completely satisfied» with Hegseth’s performance, and that U.S. military operations, including attacks against the Iranian regime, had achieved their stated objectives.

President Trump, in a message on the «Truth Social» network, called reports about Pete Hegseth’s future «completely baseless» and accused the media that published these reports of spreading false news. He said that the U.S. defense minister has his full support.

The U.S. president also, referring to the military operation against the Islamic Republic, said that the regime has been severely weakened as a result of U.S. actions to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons. He emphasized that the goal of the United States was to ensure that the Iranian regime would never obtain nuclear weapons.

President Trump went on to praise the performance of the U.S. Department of Defense in increasing recruitment and implementing reforms in the army, and once again rejected reports about the possibility of changing the defense minister. He stressed that these reports were published while the media that released them know that they are not true.
