U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has intensified pressure on NATO allies, accusing several partners of failing to stand firmly with Washington during the Iran conflict. His remarks have fueled fresh speculation about the future of America’s commitment to the alliance, as tensions grow over burden-sharing and military support. Hegseth argued that the era of allies relying on U.S. protection without matching commitments is ending, warning that "free-riding" nations could face consequences.
