During a Pentagon briefing, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth expressed vehement criticism towards the media for perceived bias against President Trump. This briefing was held to counter reports suggesting that a bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities was less effective than claimed. Trump condemned outlets like CNN and The New York Times for publishing leaks that suggested Iran could be close to developing a nuclear warhead. Hegseth aimed to push back on these narratives and defended the military's operations with notable aggression, calling out the press for supposedly hoping for Trump's failure and distorting facts.
