Pentagon Briefing on Iran War LIVE: Hegseth Under Fire as Iran Hits $300M US Plane, Troops Wounded

Amid escalating tensions in the Gulf, the Pentagon holds a high-stakes briefing as U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces mounting questions over rising American losses in the ongoing Iran war. The briefing comes after a major Iranian strike reportedly hit a high-value U.S. surveillance aircraft worth around $300 million at a key air base in Saudi Arabia, with multiple American troops also wounded in the attack. The conflict has rapidly intensified across the region, with Iran launching missile and drone strikes targeting U.S. assets and allied infrastructure in the Gulf, including bases in Saudi Arabia and other strategic locations. At the same time, fears are growing over attacks on critical civilian infrastructure. Earlier in the war, a desalination plant on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz was struck, disrupting water supplies to dozens of villages and raising alarms about the vulnerability of essential resources in the region. Experts warn that further targeting of such facilities across Gulf nations could trigger a major humanitarian crisis. The war has already resulted in significant casualties and damage. Reports indicate multiple U.S. military sites have been hit, with troops killed and hundreds injured, while key assets including aircraft, drones, and bases have been damaged in repeated Iranian attacks. #live #pentagon #iranwar #petehegseth #pentagonbriefing #usnews #trump --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/Hookglobal Visit our website for more news: https://hook.online Follow Hook here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hookonline_ Snapchat: https://snapchat.com/t/aEU7Okjw Twitter: https://x.com/hookonline_
