Pete Hegseth declared that "America is winning – decisively, devastatingly and without mercy…Flying over their capital. Death and destruction from the sky all day long. This was never meant to be a fair fight, and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they're down, which is exactly how it should be."
The practical reflection of this comic-book villain spiel is the indiscriminate bombing of Iran's capital city, the bombing of hospitals, and no consideration whatsoever for innocent civilians.
The death toll from Trump's illegal war against Iran has risen to over 1,000 people, including nearly 200 children. Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday that the US and Israel "continue to indiscriminately strike residential areas, sparing neither hospitals, schools, Red Crescent facilities, nor cultural monuments".
"These actions constitute the deliberate commission of the most heinous crimes of international concern. Indifference to this ongoing and extreme injustice will only further darken the future of humanity by jeopardising the shared values upon which our global community stands," he wrote in a post on social media.

Gandhi Hospital in northern Tehran was severely damaged in an airstrike, destroying the neo-natal unit and forcing the evacuation of babies in incubators.
"We have newborn babies," said the hospital president, Dr. Mohammad Hassan Bani Assad. "We had eight patients in the I.C.U., two in critical condition. Women giving birth. Embryos in our fertility department."
It's Israel's Gaza playbook all over again. One of the very first strikes of the war hit a girls' school, killing 160 children and all of the teachers. New footage shows what appears to be carpet bombing as entire city blocks go up in smoke.
Trump and Hegseth claim to be working to free these people — but they clearly couldn't care less if they lived or died.
Hegseth needs to be held accountable for his violations of international law and crimes against humanity.
