US EditionHegseth Slams Media at Pentagon Briefing on Iran: 'You Cheer Against Trump so Hard'
- On June 25, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth held a press briefing at the Pentagon to address media coverage of U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
- Hegseth criticized biased leaks to publications based on a preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency report suggesting the strikes only delayed Iran's program by months while noting the report lacked coordination and had low confidence.
- He accused the media of being 'fake news' for ignoring the pilots' 36-hour mission dropping bunker buster bombs on Iran's key nuclear facilities and failing to recognize the mission's historic success.
- President Trump called the strikes a 'resounding success' that 'obliterated' Iran's program, while Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei condemned the attacks as mere showmanship achieving nothing significant.
- The briefings underscored tensions between the administration and media about the strikes' impact, leaving uncertainty about how quickly Iran might repair or rebuild its nuclear capabilities.
