Pit Hegset is the head of the US Department of Defense, overseeing military operations and defense policy amid ongoing tensions with Iran. He has faced criticism from President Trump over shortages of military supplies and has been accused by military leaders of weakening U.S. readiness by dismissing senior generals and diverting resources to the Middle East. Hegset has denied reports of planning a 2028 presidential run and dismissed allegations as 'absolute lies,' while also being linked to efforts to restructure the Army and promote his press secretary, Shawn Parnell.
