Hegset canceled his visit to Israel due to the resumption of the war with Iran

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hagseth canceled his planned visit to Israel to meet with PrimeBenjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz due to Iran’s attacks on commercial tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and the subsequent overnight strikes by the U.S. military ontargets in Tehran.

The cancellation of the trip by the official, who was in Ankara at the NATO summit alongside President Donald Trump, coincided with Washington’s revocation of previously granted exemptions on Iranian oil, a move aimed at renewing economic pressure on Iran.

This was reported by The Jerusalem Post.
