Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pushes back on claims that Trump's Iran policy is driven by Israel:
"Nothing gets foisted on President Trump."

"President Trump makes his own decisions about the interests of this country and defending our interests and then working with allies and partners, in this case Israel who's got a lot of will and a lot of capabilities which we're grateful for."
"So, those people who are not in those meetings who like to say things about that are just flat wrong."
