During a press conference, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a stern warning to Iran, stating that the US would increase military strikes significantly. However, the focus quickly shifted to an unexpected moment of flatulence that occurred during his address. This incident went viral, generating millions of views and a wave of memes and jokes on social media, with users humorously dubbing him 'Secretary of Fart.' Despite the levity surrounding the moment, Hegseth's remarks highlighted the seriousness of the US's military stance, with President Donald Trump emphasizing that American forces had conducted over 10,000 combat flights and struck more than 13,000 targets in Iran. Trump also criticized several allies for their lack of support during the conflict, while praising Gulf nations for their assistance.
