REPLAY: US Defense Secretary holds press conference on Iran war

Mar 13, 2026
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says Iran’s new supreme leader “is wounded and likely disfigured.” Hegseth spoke Friday, a day after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei released a written statement vowing to continue the war. It was Khamenei’s first statement since he assumed Iran’s top office after the death of his father in an Israeli strike.
