US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has called on the Pentagon to review comments Democratic Senator Mark Kelly made about weapons stockpiles.
Hegseth accused Kelly of "blabbing on TV" about what he said was a classified Pentagon briefing. "Did he violate his oath…again?" Hegseth wrote on X.
Kelly told CBS News' Face The Nation programme of his concerns about US munitions stockpile following the war with Iran. He said it was "shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines", citing a Pentagon briefing detailing specific munitions.
In response to Hegseth's accusation, Kelly denied that he revealed classified information and said they "had this conversation in a public hearing a week ago".
"You said it would take "years" to replenish some of these stockpiles," the Arizona senator said in his own post on X, alongside a video of the pair at a Senate hearing last month.
