That is what we'd like to see the most." "We are the guarantor of the safety and security, not just of our country, but of a lot of people in this world."

If the United States is at war, then Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. If the United States is not at war, then Pete Hegseth is a murderer. What Pete Hegseth ordered the military to do violates international law. Double tap strike on the B1 bridge in Iran while the rescue team were on-site is succession to target first responders assisting victims of the initial attack. Under the Geneva Conventions, you are obligated to rescue victims of the first attack. Abandoned any survivors and bombing them along with rescue teams is illegal, immoral, and a war crime.

Interesting video from then Speaker of Parliament Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani in 1987, in response to a question from a foreign reporter about Iran closing the Strait of Hormoz after Kuwait asked the US Navy to get involved in the ongoing tanker war: "We never said we're just going to casually go and close the Strait of Hormoz. We would prefer the Strait of Hormoz is not closed. If the Strait of Hormoz is closed it causes us harm too. We will also suffer damage. We have always emphasized that we will close the Strait of Hormoz when the Persian Gulf cannot be used by us. If the Persian Gulf cannot be used by us then we will also make the Persian Gulf not usable for others. This is our policy. The people that have deprived us from that Gulf, they must also be deprived. And if we reach that day our threat is firm and we will close it, but we hope the world is wise enough not to bring that day and we consider it quite unlikely that day will happen."
