Pre-Trump Scapegoats
U.S. President Donald Trump is looking for officials to blame for the failures of the war with Iran and the Republicans’ setback in the midterm elections, according to *The Washington Post*. Those named include Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine, and Central Command chief Brad Cooper, who have been blamed for offering overly optimistic assessments of operations without adequately explaining the risks. Caine and Cooper face the greatest risk of being held accountable, while Trump has ruled out firing Hegseth. The Pentagon is expected to face tougher scrutiny and congressional investigations under Democratic control over its handling of the war and its military decisions.
