3:21Now PlayingPentagon chief Pete Hegseth ridiculed Iran’s leadership Friday — claiming the theocracy’s “rat”-like executives had “gone underground” and that new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is “likely disfigured.”
“Iran’s leadership is in no better shape, desperate and hiding. They’ve gone underground, cowering. That’s what rats do,” Hegseth jeered at a press conference. “We know the new so-called not-so-supreme leader is wounded and likely disfigured,” he added.
