Pete Hegseth will hold a press conference on Monday about the American-Israeli military operation against Iran, the first of its kind since the beginning of the conflict.

The head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, will hold a press conference on Monday morning, marking the first public appearance of a senior American official since the beginning of the American-Israeli military operation against Iran. The conference will take place at 8:00 local time (13:00 GMT) and will include the participation of the Chief of Staff, Dan Caine. Additionally, Hegseth will go to Congress on Tuesday, together with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, to inform lawmakers about the progress of the operation. The Democratic opposition has expressed dissatisfaction regarding the lack of consultations prior to the initiation of military action. This press conference is significant as it represents the first official communication since the beginning of the conflict.
