"Unconditional surrender means foreign troops get to rape your wife and daughter if they want. And everyone knows that. It would require weapons of mass destruction. It would require, presumably, nuclear weapons. And let's not lie to ourselves, we're moving toward that."
"We're busy executing on behalf of great patriotic Americans with a clear mission that's 47 years overdue, and we're going to execute on that regardless of what people say about it."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was questioned about Tucker Carlson's recent criticism of President Trump's demand for Iran's unconditional surrender. Carlson claimed unconditional surrender historically leads to atrocities including sexual violence against civilians and suggested the situation could escalate to nuclear weapons use. A reporter pressed Hegseth on growing conservative dissent, citing Carlson's comments directly. Hegseth declined to engage with Carlson's criticism, stating the Pentagon is focused on executing its mission for patriotic Americans. Polls indicate over 80% of Republican support for Trump's military action, though some conservative voices express concerns.
