Hegseth Broker Attempted Weapons Investment Before Iran War

The investment interest by Hegseth's broker shortly before the conflict suggests a potential conflict of interest which could escalate tensions surrounding the Iran situation.

A broker for US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly sought to invest in weapons stocks just weeks prior to the US and Israel's military operations against Iran. This move has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest as Hegseth has been a vocal advocate for the military action.
