RUSH EXCERPT:

HEGSETH: “I can assure you and the audience we’re monitoring this in realtime. The defense department has been tracking it at every level, and to include when it started and throughout. Had it been just this morning and president leading the way on setting the tempo of how we look at region and ultimately recognize couple of days ago, Israel believed in its own self-defense and needed to take action against nuclear capabilities and ballistic missiles and saw the response from Iran. We’ve seen that . The U.S. is postured to defend our people in the region. We’ve got significant assets in the region.”
