Thom Tillis ripped Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Sunday, saying he gave President Trump bad advice on Iran and makes disastrous ex-cabinet member Kristi Noem look like \u201ca five-star recruit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The retiring North Carolina pol and member of the Senate Veterans\u2019 Affairs Committee blasted the Pentagon chief for allegedly overstating America\u2019s military successes against Iran in the early stages of the war and for stopping a troop deployment to Poland, something Trump ended up reversing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>GOP Sen.

The US has responded with a blockade of Iran\u2019s ports.<\/p>\n<p>As the deadly conflict drags on, multiple lawmakers have expressed concerns about US stockpiles of critical firepower, including Patriot interceptors and Tomahawk missiles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were told about 11 weeks ago by Hegseth and Department of Defense that they had obliterated Iran\u2019s defenses and it was just a matter of time before we had the nuclear material,\u201d Tillis complained. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow we are talking about a posture where we may accept the nuclear material remaining in Iran? How does that make sense at all?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was the first major Trump cabinet official to get fired. <span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He also dinged the rumored framework deal in the works with Iran as \u201cquestionable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Hegseth stopped the deployment of 4,000 US troops to Poland as part of a scale-back from Europe. Trump later reversed that and ordered the deploymen to 5,000 troops there. Some administration officials described the initial move as a delay.<\/p>\n<p>Tillis, who decided last year not to run for reelection, had been one of Noem\u2019s staunchest GOP critics before Trump axed her in March.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, he had voted to confirm both her and Hegseth.<\/p>\n<p>He hasn\u2019t shied away from bashing Trump where he feels it\u2019s appropriate, having previously crusaded to stop the criminal probe of former Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
