Hegseth's Chief Of Staff Out After Leaked Signal Chats; Pentagon In Chaos As Top Officials Ousted

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Chief of Staff, Joe Kasper, is stepping down amid a deepening leak scandal tied to unauthorized Signal chats about U.S. strikes on Yemen.

His resignation follows the ousting of three top Pentagon advisors, reportedly over clashes with Kasper.

The White House is standing by Hegseth, though pressure mounts after claims a journalist was accidentally included in sensitive Signal discussions.

Critics have described “a month of total chaos” at the Pentagon as investigations and accusations of character attacks continue to rock the defense leadership.

Did Hegseth Just Declare War On Iran? Warns Of Consequences After Houthi Drone Hits U.S. Carrier

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued a direct and forceful warning to Iran following a serious incident involving a Houthi drone that forced the USS Harry S. Truman to take evasive action—resulting in the loss of an F-18 jet. Hegseth declared that Iran will “pay the consequence at the time and place of our choosing,” calling out Iran’s support for the Houthi terrorist group. Backed by President Trump’s retweet, this message signals a potential escalation as the U.S. vows to respond decisively to any further aggression in the Red Sea region. #PeteHegseth #Iran #Trump #Houthi #RedSea #USSHarrySTruman #F18Jet #DroneAttack #USMilitary #DefenseNews #MiddleEastCrisis #USIranTensions #HouthiTerrorism #Pentagon #BreakingNews #MilitaryEscalation #GulfConflict #USNavy #NationalSecurity #HegsethWarning #TrumpTweet #IranSanctions #USResponse #HouthiThreat #WarFooting #AircraftCarrier #RedSeaConflict #TrumpSpeech #MilitaryStrategy #GuardianJet Also Read Canada Election Result Marks Nationalist Comeback Against Donald Trump.

U.S Military Using CHINA-MADE Drones? Pentagon's Tariffs Blue List IGNORED By Defense Firms

Despite Trump-era tariffs and Pentagon bans, nearly every drone used by American companies still contains critical Chinese components. From engines to airframes and batteries, U.S. drone tech — including military-grade hardware — remains heavily reliant on China. Silicon Valley startups, defense contractors, and even top officials like VP J.D. Vance have been exposed using Chinese tech. With China controlling nearly 90% of global drone hardware, experts warn that any cutoff couldcripple the U.S. drone industry for up to a year. #ChinaTech #Drones #USMilitary #DefenseIndustry #DroneWar #TradeWar #Pentagon #SupplyChainCrisis #BeijingTech #JDVance #AmericanDrones #TrumpTariffs #NationalSecurity #TechDependence #DronePolitics #SiliconValley #TariffBackfire #DroneImports #BlueList #ChinaControl #CriticalTech #USvsChina #DroneMarket #ChineseHardware #TechNews #BreakingNews #DefenseTech #AIandDrones #WarTech #DroneShortage #BannedTech

Israel Eliminates Hezbollah Commander in Drone Attack; Day After Netanyahu Vows to Kill Al-Houthi

Israel has eliminated a senior Hezbollah commander, just one day after Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to target Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi. The deadly operation is being seen as a chilling signal to Iran-backed factions across the region, especially Yemen’s Ansarallah (Houthis). The strike comes amid Israel’s ongoing confrontations with Hezbollah on its northern front and follows escalating rhetoric against Houthi leadership for their continued attacks in solidarity with Gaza.
