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.

In a fiery Pentagon briefing, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lashed out at the media, accusing them of "cheering against Trump" and downplaying the success of Operation Midnight Hammer — a bold series of U.S. airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear sites. Hegseth defended the mission’s results, slammed leaks of low-confidence intelligence reports, and praised the courage of American pilots and defense crews. With tensions high and politics in play, the Secretary warned that biased reporting could overshadow what he called a “historic” blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

The Pentagon revealed that every weapon deployed in the recent U.S. strike on Iran had a pre-assigned target — and none missed. Officials emphasized the unprecedented precision of the operation, which focused on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and command hubs. The statement underscores the effectiveness of American airpower, particularly the deployment of GBU-57 bunker busters, and suggests a major degradation of Iran’s strategic capabilities.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has described America’s widely perceived failure against Yemen’s Houthis as a “tailored operation,” claiming the goal was freedom of navigation and not the protection of Israeli-linked vessels. Notably, Hegseth made no mention of Israel during his statement. Critics argue the Pentagon has rebranded a humiliating military result, after months of failed deterrence against Houthi strikes in the Red Sea. The Pentagon's shifting rhetoric has sparked fresh debate over U.S. credibility, especially in light of its deep alliance with Israel.

Just days after a major ceasefire between Iran and Israel, the Houthi rebels have resumed their missile attacks. Air raid sirens sounded in southern Israel after a ballistic missile, launched from Yemen, reportedly struck near Beersheba. Houthi leadership claims the strike is retaliation for Israel’s ongoing operations in Gaza. With over 25 missiles and drones launched this month alone, the group warns of continued attacks until Israeli offensives stop. The renewed violence threatens to derail ceasefire negotiations, even as President Trump promises a Gaza truce “by next week.”

Tensions in the Middle East are spiraling. Iran has denied launching the missile intercepted by Israel near Eilat, claiming it was fired by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei warns Israel of severe punishment for what he called a “great crime” — referring to Israel and America’s recent strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. The Houthis have issued direct threats against U.S. warships in the Red Sea, declaring full support for Tehran and vowing retaliation. With Iran’s next missile wave still pending under “Operation True Promise-3,” the region is bracing for a major escalation. Is a regional war now inevitable?

Massive anti-Israel and anti-U.S. protests erupted across Iran, with thousands marching from Tehran’s Enghelab Square to Azadi Tower. Cities like Qom, Mashhad, Isfahan, and Shiraz joined in, chanting “Death to America” and “Death to the Zionist regime.” Protesters pledged loyalty to the armed forces following Israeli strikes that killed civilians and scientists. Iran’s Operation True Promise III reportedly destroyed key Israeli military sites, with IRGC taking credit. Simultaneous protests in Iraq and Yemen expressed regional solidarity with Iran.

In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis launched hypersonic ballistic missiles targeting Tel Aviv’s sensitive military and civilian sites. The coordinated assault followed Iran’s mass missile salvo, with Houthi forces confirming that "Palestine 2" missiles struck central Israel’s Jaffa region. Israel had earlier bombed a top Houthi commander in Yemen. The Houthis declared solidarity with Gaza and Iran, vowing more strikes unless Israel ends the siege. The assault marks the first direct Houthi attack inside Israeli territory, further escalating regional tensions and drawing in Iran's proxy networks.

Celebrations broke out in Gaza and parts of the West Bank as Iran launched retaliatory missile strikes against Israel. Videos show Palestinians cheering, waving flags, and chanting slogans as Iranian missiles hit Tel Aviv. The strikes followed Israel’s deadly assault on Iran’s nuclear program, which killed senior IRGC figures. Supporters across the region, including parts of Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, celebrated Iran’s response. The mood was one of vindication for many, who view Iran’s attack as a counterstrike against years of Israeli aggression in Gaza and the wider region.
