Iranian forces facing ‘widespread desertions’ as morale declines: Pete Hegseth
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth discusses the conflict in Iran and the declining “morale” among the Iranian military.
“The latest intel is clear out of CENTOM,” Mr Hegseth said.
“Our strikes are damaging the morale of the Iranian military, leading to widespread desertions, key personnel shortages and causing frustrations among senior leaders.”
