Hegseth says US war against Iran not 'democracy building'

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Monday that the war against Iran is not an effort to build democracy in the Islamic republic.

"No stupid rules of engagement, no nation building quagmire, no democracy-building exercise. No politically correct wars. We fight to win and we don't waste time or lives," Hegseth told a news conference.
