US army secretary resigns amid signs of Pentagon unease with Iran war

US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has resigned, according to the White House, following growing tensions within the Pentagon regarding the Trump administration's approach to the war against Iran. Driscoll, a close ally of Vice President JD Vance, had previously worked with Trump's 2024 re-election campaign and advised on military strategy. His departure follows warnings from senior military leaders that prolonged operations against Iran could undermine US capabilities against other threats. Reports indicate severe shortages of advanced missile systems like the Patriot, with the US nearly depleted its stockpiles of long-range missiles and surface-to-surface weapons. The situation highlights internal divisions between figures like Vance, who advocates for diplomatic engagement, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who strongly supports continued military action against Iran.
