’60 Minutes’: Pete Hegseth’s Explosive Interview With Major Garrett Sparks Backlash
- During the July 6 60 Minutes broadcast, Pete Hegseth, a commentator on 60 Minutes, said 'we were always controlling the throttle about whether or not to go or not go, and ultimately, to advance American interests and protect American lives.'
- The vetted intelligence from Israel helped create a window of opportunity that preceded Operation Epic Fury about nine to ten days earlier, according to reports.
- Online commentators and former service members called Hegseth's remarks 'grotesque' and 'psychotic', after he declared 'No one's putting us in danger' and said 'The only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they're going to live'.
- The New York Times reported U.S. intelligence estimates Iran still holds more than 970 pounds of nearly bomb-grade uranium, citing concerns about retrievable stockpiles at Iran's Isfahan facility.
- Concerns about Russian involvement and risk to U.S. personnel were dismissed by Hegseth, who called the framing 'silly and academic' and said 'U.S. forces are not the ones in danger'.
