Defense Chiefs Caution Against Extended Middle East Engagement
US military leaders have warned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that extending large-scale operations against Iran is unsustainable and risks weakening their ability to confront threats elsewhere. A recent classified assessment advised that prolonged operations in the Middle East could compromise the US military’s ability to address threats to the US homeland. The warning comes as the US continues to navigate complex geopolitical tensions in the region. The assessment was prepared for the Pentagon chief, according to people familiar with the report, as reported by Unknown Source.
