According to the US “Washington Post” on August 30, a number of senior US military commanders issued a warning to US Secretary of Defense Hegseth that continuing large-scale military action against Iran will be unsustainable. This move will weaken the ability of the US military to carry out operations around the world and even defend the mainland of the United States. The report said that the relevant warning appeared in the “Secretary of Defense Order Handbook” on the 14th of this month. This document is an internal confidential document of the Pentagon. It summarizes the US military's global military deployment and equipment readiness status, gathers opinions from commanders of various military branches and war zones, and provides a reference for the Secretary of Defense to issue military instructions.
