Hegseth: 'We didn't start this war but under President Trump we're finishing it'

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and Dan Caine, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, seen here in January, detailed the U.S. operation against Iran.

The remarks are the first to reporters since the U.S.-Israeli military operations against Iran began Saturday despite weeks of talks designed to stave off a conflict.
