Hong Kong's “South China Morning Post” exclusively broke the news on the 18th that according to many people familiar with the matter, US Secretary of Defense Hegseth is facing an increasing risk of unemployment due to a combination of factors. Currently, the White House and the Pentagon have yet to respond to this. Hegseth is “on the verge of losing his job,” the “South China Morning Post” quoted anonymous sources as saying that the ongoing stalemate in the US-Iran war and negotiations and a series of negative media reports are thought to be the main reason. A source said that people are increasingly worried about the situation of the crew aboard the “Lincoln” nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The aircraft carrier has been sailing at sea for more than 8 months, and the crew is allegedly facing problems such as food shortages and poor hygiene conditions; in addition, US President Trump is particularly annoyed by the lack of “substantial progress” in the US-Iran war. Another source bluntly said, “Jobs are in jeopardy.” The South China Morning Post quoted expert analysis as saying that Trump may need “someone to take responsibility for the war between the US and Iran.” As of now, neither the White House nor the Pentagon have responded to this matter.
