U.S. Defense Chief Hegseth Faces Scrutiny Over “Kill Everybody” Order In Caribbean Strike | 9 Dead <br /> <br />U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing intense scrutiny after reports surfaced claiming he issued a verbal order to “Kill everybody” during a September 2025 strike on a suspected narco-trafficking vessel in the Caribbean. The operation resulted in the deaths of nine people in the initial strike and two additional unarmed survivors in a controversial follow-up attack. <br /> <br />The Trump administration insists the strikes targeted Venezuelan-linked narco-terror groups threatening U.S. security, while critics—including bipartisan lawmakers, legal experts, and international observers—allege the actions may constitute war crimes. With Venezuela condemning the operations and U.S. military buildup growing in the region, tensions continue to escalate. Congressional hearings are scheduled as calls for accountability intensify. <br /> <br /> <br />#HegsethControversy #KillEverybodyOrder #CaribbeanStrikes #USMilitaryStrikes #HegsethUnderFire #WarCrimeAllegations #TrumpDefendsHegseth #NarcoTerrorTargets #VenezuelaTensions #StrikeControversy #BreakingNews #PentagonScandal #USVenezuelaCrisis #MilitaryAccountability #CongressionalHearings #CaribbeanOperations #InternationalLawDebate #DefenseDepartmentCrisis<br /><br />~HT.178~ED.194~GR.122~
