Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a “last-minute” commencement speech Saturday in New York to West Point graduates, during which he made the startling admission that the Trump administration could very well be sending those graduates “to war,” and soon.“Now, today, we are going to send you – we're sending you to lead, we're sending you to forge warriors, and we're sending you – perhaps – to war,” Hegseth told the nearly 1,000 West Point graduates. “And you are ready. The world today is at a crossroads, just as it has been for the past 250 years of our great republic. You are stepping into the arena at a time when the stakes could not be higher.”Hegseth’s admission comes amid growing speculation that President Donald Trump may authorize a new wave of attacks on Iran this weekend. Multiple outlets have reported that Trump is actively preparing to launch strikes against Iran, and thereby end the ongoing but weak U.S.-Iran ceasefire. And on Saturday, Trump teased a full U.S.-takeover of Iran, while also saying there was a “solid” chance that by Sunday, he may decide to blow Iran “to kingdom come.”The remarks also come in contrast with comments he made leading up to the 2024 election, when, during an appearance on the “Shawn Ryan Show,” he said that “the last thing” he wanted was his “son deploying” overseas for an armed conflict.
