Trump, Hegseth tie Iran war to 9/11 in speeches at Pentagon
Hegseth said the U.S. has killed Iranian leaders and destroyed defenses as he cast the conflict as part of the post-9/11 fight.
- President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth honored victims at a Pentagon ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of the attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people.
- Linking the 2001 tragedy to the current conflict with Iran, the defense chief vowed to "finish this fight" against what he described as the "world's most prolific state sponsor of terrorism" over the past six months.
- These forces have destroyed air defenses and a navy, he said, warning that Washington remains "vigilant" against adversaries who continue to seek to "curb US power and kill American citizens."
- The president added that officials are working to ensure the Islamic Republic will "never have a nuclear weapon," noting that the time since the initial incident has demonstrated the "power of the American spirit."
- Public discourse continues to grapple with how that day shapes perceptions of Muslim Americans, as the rhetoric created broader, persistent tensions and a rise in prejudice.
