Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth may be the next cabinet member to depart the Trump administration, according to retired U.S. Navy intelligence officer Travis Akers.
Despite Hegseth declaring a "decisive military victory" over Iran during Wednesday's press conference, multiple reports indicate Iran continues striking U.S. allies and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Ceasefire agreement details suggest U.S. concessions, including potential lifting of Iranian oil sanctions and removal of all U.S. troops from the country.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, Akers predicted President Donald Trump will fire Hegseth to deflect blame for the failed war strategy, stating, "Trump is certainly going to look for a scapegoat because he'll never accept the blame himself", adding, "He's going to find someone else to pin it on."
Akers suggested Hegseth's tenure is in serious jeopardy.
