REPLAY: Hegseth warns of 'Islamist threat' at 9/11 25th anniversary commemorations

US defense secretary Pete Hegseth delivered remarks at a ceremony at the Pentagon on Friday on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

25 years after 9/11, al Qaeda remains a threat – even as Washington looks away
