‘Effective immediately’: Hegseth fires Biden-appointed Army Chief of Staff ahead of US boots on Iran

Pentagon shake-up intensifies as Pete Hegseth forces Army Chief Gen. Randy George to retire “effective immediately” during the ongoing Iran war, with no official reason given. The sudden removal, along with two other generals, comes amid escalating U.S. military operations and leadership reshuffling under Donald Trump’s administration. With troops and warships mobilized, the move raises serious questions about Pentagon stability and a potential ground offensive in Iran.
