Hegseth fires the Pentagon's top military planner as Trump considers new Iran strikes
xCruzo Brief
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has removed Army Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia as head of strategy, plans and policy on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a post known as the J5. A defense official said Wednesday that Sylvia was fired with no immediate replacement identified and no stated reason for the dismissal. Sylvia is the second general ousted from the J5 role under Hegseth; his predecessor, Lt. Gen. Joseph McGee, was forced to retire last October. The move follows President Donald Trump’s ongoing consideration of renewed strikes on Iran amid an eight-month war that began with Israel. Trump has not made a final decision, officials said, as a third carrier and thousands of troops move toward the region.
