I don't know if it's policy or if it was just Hegseth bloviating for the cameras and to bluster to sound confident in war. His mouth may have said more than what official policy is. I would think so.
I agree with you that it was a stupid thing to say because it can easily cause blowback for any of our troops who go down in enemy territory during this conflict. Iran would probably kill them anyways because they have the mentality of religious maniacs of the year 700AD, but Hegseths statement will make their deaths a sure thing.
