In a recent Pentagon briefing, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth criticized the media for its perceived bias against President Trump, claiming that it fails to report on a successful military operation targeting Iranian nuclear sites. Hegseth highlighted Trump's leadership in executing what he called a complex military endeavor, which allegedly led to severe damage to the Iranian nuclear program. The criticism extended to a preliminary report from the Defense Intelligence Agency that suggested limited damage from the U.S. attack. Top officials, including the CIA Director, supported Hegseth's perspective, contending that Iran's nuclear capabilities have been significantly impaired, complicating any recovery efforts.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasized that the media focuses more on opposing President Trump than reporting on what he termed a "historically successful attack" on Iranian nuclear sites.
Hegseth criticized a leak of a preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency report that described damage to Iranian nuclear sites as "limited," asserting that it didn't capture the operation's true success.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe remarked that Iran's nuclear program has been "severely damaged," indicating it would take years for Iran to reconstruct it.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard stated that Iran's nuclear facilities have been destroyed, emphasizing that any rebuilding would necessitate reconstructing all three sites.
