Pentagon confirms Trump and Hegseth made the call on the boat strikes [View all]
BREAKING: Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson just put all of the responsibility of the Caribbean strikes on President Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth.
"“The Secretary (Hegseth) has been very clear in every statement that we have released about these strikes that they are Presidentially directed and the chain of command functions as it should… At the end of the day, the Secretary and the President are the ones directing these strikes and any follow-on strikes like those directed by Admiral Bradley, the Secretary 100% agrees with.”

The Pentagon just blew up the White House’s entire cover story.
Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson openly confirmed that the Caribbean strikes,including the follow-on strike that hit survivors, were “presidentially directed” and fully backed by Pete Hegseth.
No more hiding behind “rogue commanders.”
No more blaming the Navy.
No more pretending Hegseth “didn’t know.”
“The Secretary and the President are the ones directing these strikes… the Secretary 100% agrees with.”
This puts Trump and Hegseth directly on the hook for the operation the Senate and House are now investigating as a potential war crime.
