Hegseth Acknowledges Religious Element in Iran War Amid Eschatology Concerns

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth stated on CBS' '60 Minutes Overtime' that the conflict in Iran has a distinct religious dimension, describing the adversaries as 'religious fanatics.' This admission aligns with broader eschatological concerns regarding the rise of anti-Western theocracies in the Middle East.
