In a high-stakes interview with CBS News, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth delivered a masterclass in American resolve. He was asked about reports that Russia is feeding intelligence to the Iranian regime. His message was blunt: America isn’t hiding; we’re hunting.

Interviewer: CBS News has three sources telling us that Russia is providing intelligence to Iran on U.S. positions and movements. The average American might hear that and think that’s a big and dangerous deal. Is it?

Pete Hegseth: Well, we’re tracking everything. Our commanders are aware of everything. We have the best intelligence in the world. We’re aware of who’s talking to who, why they’re talking to them, how accurate that information might be, how we factor that into our battle plans, our CENTCOM commander.

So we know what’s going on. And the President has an incredible knack at knowing how to mitigate those risks. And so the American people can rest assured their Commander-in-Chief is well aware of who’s talking to who and anything that shouldn’t be happening—whether it’s in public or back-channeled—is being confronted and confronted strongly.

Interviewer: The American people could therefore expect conversations with the Russians to stop this?

Pete Hegseth: Well, President Trump, as people have seen, has a unique relationship with a lot of world leaders, where he can get things done that other presidents—certainly Joe Biden—never could have. And through direct conversations or indirect, through him one-to-one, or through his cabinet, messages definitely can be delivered.

Interviewer: Does this put U.S. personnel in any more danger than they otherwise would be? The Russian involvement.

Pete Hegseth: No one’s putting us in danger. We’re putting the other guys in danger. That’s our job. So we’re not concerned about that. We mitigate it as we need to. Our commanders factor all of this. But the only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they’re going to live.
