US EditionHegseth defends Iran strikes, slams media over intel leak
- On Thursday in Washington, Pentagon leaders Pete Hegseth and General Dan Caine held an uncommon briefing to defend the recent U.S. weekend attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran.
- The strikes came after extensive research spanning a decade and a half by a pair of Defense Threat Reduction Agency personnel who engineered bombs capable of breaching Iran's deeply buried Fordo uranium enrichment site.
- Hegseth criticized reporters for giving undue attention to a preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency assessment that indicated the strikes caused considerable damage but did not completely eliminate the facilities, resulting in only a short-term delay to Tehran's nuclear program.
- He called the attack historically successful, cited pilots describing the post-strike flash as the brightest explosion seen, and accused media of undermining the pilots' and President Trump's success.
- The Pentagon emphasized extensive research and planning behind the mission, acknowledged intelligence gaps, and asserted the strikes caused significant damage setting back Iran's nuclear efforts.
