Secretary of War Pete Hegseth launches "Send Me" tour to rally backing for Iran war
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth began a "Send Me" tour of military training sites, seeking to increase public support for the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran.
Hegseth traveled to several training programs across the United States, unveiling a new outreach effort called the "Send Me" tour. The campaign ties biblical passages to the historical growth of American military power and its current role in the Middle East. His favorability rating has fallen to a record low of minus 24 points as public frustration over the Iran war rises. The initiative aims to reshape perceptions by linking religious narrative with strategic objectives.
Why it matters
The tour reflects a high-level attempt to reshape public opinion on a contentious foreign conflict.
