A broker for U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth attempted to make a big investment in major defense companies in the weeks leading up to the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran, the Financial Times reported on Monday, citing three people familiar with the matter.
Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said on X the story was "entirely false and fabricated" and demanded a retraction.
The FT report said Hegseth’s broker at Morgan Stanley contacted BlackRock in February, about making a multimillion-dollar investment in the asset manager’s Defense Industrials Active ETF, shortly before the U.S. launched military action against Tehran.
