President Trump drew a link between the 9/11 attacks and the ongoing war with Iran — after Secretary of War Pete Hegseth also did so.
“Today we renew the sacred oath that we first swore in their names a quarter of a century ago, we will never, ever forget. That’s why we fight today,” Trump said at the Pentagon.
