SecDef Pete Hegseth pushes back on the claim that Netanyahu is pulling Trump into the conflict with Iran:

 "Your question is based on the false premise that somehow President Trump is being pulled in by Prime Minister Netanyahu to any of these actions." 
"President Trump has led at every step of this based on his view of American interest in America first." 
"There's only one hand on the wheel ultimately directing this, whether it's Project Freedom or previously Operation Epic Fury, and it's President Trump." 
"We're grateful for their input, their insights, the existential nature of the threat they face from an Iranian bomb, the capabilities that they can bring to that. But ultimately, the coordination will happen with the leadership of President Trump."
