GEOPOLITICS | Retired General Says Trump Iran Reports Diverge From Ground Truth

Ben Hodges, a former commanding general for the US Army in Europe, said reports from the Trump administration on the conflict with Iran are “not very closely connected to the truth on the ground,” according to Bloomberg. Hodges also said he was “encouraged” by reports that military leaders pushed back on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and urged him to stop extending the war with Iran.
