Pete Hegseth awkwardly smiles as Trump suggests Iran was is his idea

This is the uncomfortable moment Donald Trump appeared to shift blame onto Pete Hegseth as he suggested the Iran war was his idea.Speaking Monday at a conference in Tennessee , Trump said: 'I called a lot of our great people... and I said, "Let's talk. We got a problem in the Middle East. We have a country known as Iran that, for 47 years, has been just a purveyor of terror, and they're close to a nuclear weapon.'''Turning to his Secretary of War who was sitting to his right, Trump added: 'And Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up. And you said, "Let's do it, because you can't let them have a nuclear weapon."'Hegseth forced an awkward smile as the US President continued discussing ongoing talks with Iran, claiming they had 'started last night.'
