五角大楼发言人肖恩·帕内尔为国防部长海格塞斯定期推翻高级指挥官建议的做法进行了辩护，称这是正常的军事运作程序1。帕内尔表示："我们当然要求坦诚的军事建议。非赞同意见很常见。部长经常会看到这些意见。"1
根据美国邮报报道，四位四星将领已对海格塞斯的政策提出正式异议1。这四位指挥官——海军作战部长达里尔·考德尔、欧洲司令部司令亚历克修斯·格林克维奇、南方司令部司令弗朗西斯·唐纳文和印太司令部司令塞缪尔·帕帕罗——反对在中东保留超过5万名美军至9月及以后1。这份非赞同意见出现在8月14日的国防部长命令书中1。尽管面临来自这些资深军事将领的反对，海格塞斯仍推进了该部署计划1。根据国防部长的估计，这一承诺的成本为37.5亿美元，其中包括到9月的预计成本1。美国邮报援引知情人士的说法称，海军目前无法在没有设定结束日期的情况下维持这一承诺1。特朗普在周一上午声称："伊朗已正式成为一个失败国家。它已经完蛋了。"1
The Pentagon defended Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's practice of overriding senior military commanders, characterizing it as routine in normal defense operations.1 Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell stated that "of course, we demand candid military advice. Non-concurs are standard. The Secretary sees them constantly."1
The defense came after four four-star commanders—Navy Operations Chief Daryl Caudle, European Command Chief Alexus Grynkewich, Southern Command Chief Francis L Donovan, and Indo-Pacific Command Chief Samuel Paparo—formally filed non-concurrence opinions on August 14, opposing plans to maintain more than 50,000 U.S. troops in the Middle East through September and beyond.1 Hegseth proceeded with the deployment plan despite the objections, citing estimated costs of $3.75 billion, including projected expenses through September.1 According to sources cited in reporting, the Navy has indicated difficulty sustaining current commitments without a defined end date.1 Meanwhile, President Trump declared on Monday that "Iran is officially a Failed Nation. IT IS DEAD!"1
