13:41Now PlayingDonald Trump has appeared to shift the blame for his war against Iran onto his defence chief Pete Hegseth amid growing anger at the US' ongoing military operation.
Speaking at a conference in Tennessee, the US President appeared to throw the Secretary of War under the bus as pressure mounts at home and abroad for the American leader to make peace with Tehran.
Mr Trump said: “I called a lot of our great people... and I said, ‘Let's talk. We got a problem in the Middle East. We have a country known as Iran that, for 47 years, has been just a purveyor of terror, and they're close to a nuclear weapon.'''
Turning to Mr Hegseth, he added: “And Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up. And you said, “Let’s do it, because you can’t let them have a nuclear weapon."'
Mr Hegseth made an awkward smile as his boss went on discussing negotiations with Iran, which he claimed Tehran had “started last night”.
“I think they’re very good. They want peace… they’ve agreed they will not have a nuclear weapon, you know etc., etc., but we’ll see. You have to get it done. But I would say there’s a very good chance,” Mr Trump added.
