Hegseth joined the military personnel for a workout drill on USS Boxer, which is docked in Singapore, when he stopped to give a pep talk about the ongoing Iran war.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president said ‘Iran can either do it the right way, with a deal across the table, or they can deal with my guy on the left.’ That happened to be me. But it’s not me. It’s you guys!\u201d Hegseth said.<\/p>\n

People online mocked Hegseth’s message to the group.<\/p>\n

“The cringe level is off the charts,” journalist Aaron Rupar, who has 1.1 million followers, wrote on X.<\/p>\n

“Hegseth is an actor playing a Secdef in a cheesy movie,” former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), a frequent Trump administration critic and veteran, wrote on X.<\/p>\n

“Pete Hegseth got how many of our fellow Americans killed and injured and how many bases destroyed all because he used GROK to plan a war with Iran and then got America’s A– handed to her?” Pastor Ben Dixon, a political commentator with more than 164,000 followers, wrote on X.<\/p>\n

“This is so … stupid!” Gwilym Eades, a lecturer in human and environmental geography at Royal Holloway University of London, wrote on Bluesky.<\/p>\n
