On Sunday, US President Donald Trump defended Secretary of War Pete Guest from calls for his impeachment, saying Guest had played a role in winning two wars, destroying the Islamic Republic's nuclear capabilities and preventing the spread of conflict in the Middle East.
"When you talk about Pete Heggest, I mean, he's guilty of two things: basically, winning two wars," Trump said.
"In World War II, we destroyed their nuclear capability and probably saved Israel and probably the Middle East," he added.
Trump said: "I believe that together we saved the Middle East and Israel."
"And it's really hard to say, 'Let's arrest someone who did this,'" he continued. Now what do they want to do with one of the people who had the most responsibility in this area? They want to oust him.
