Hegseth Explodes Media Coverage on Iran Strikes: Accuses of Rooting Against Trump, Ignoring Heroism

In a fiery Pentagon briefing, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lashed out at the media, accusing them of "cheering against Trump" and downplaying the success of Operation Midnight Hammer — a bold series of U.S. airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear sites.

Hegseth defended the mission’s results, slammed leaks of low-confidence intelligence reports, and praised the courage of American pilots and defense crews.

With tensions high and politics in play, the Secretary warned that biased reporting could overshadow what he called a “historic” blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

'Every Weapon Had a Target. None Missed': Pentagon Details Chilling Precision of Iran Strike

The Pentagon revealed that every weapon deployed in the recent U.S. strike on Iran had a pre-assigned target — and none missed. Officials emphasized the unprecedented precision of the operation, which focused on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and command hubs. The statement underscores the effectiveness of American airpower, particularly the deployment of GBU-57 bunker busters, and suggests a major degradation of Iran’s strategic capabilities. #USAttacksIran #FordowStrike #IranNuclearSite #TrumpIranStrike #IsraelAttacksIran #IranIsraelWar #USIranConflict #FordowFacilityHit #PentagonStrikeDetails #IranUnderAttack #IranNuclearCollapse #BunkerBusterStrike #IranFordowAttack #MiddleEastTensions #USPrecisionStrike ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.420~GR.124~

Hegseth Says Houthi Red Sea Defeat As 'Tailored Operation' | Critics Slam Hegseth As ‘Attempt To...’

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has described America’s widely perceived failure against Yemen’s Houthis as a “tailored operation,” claiming the goal was freedom of navigation and not the protection of Israeli-linked vessels. Notably, Hegseth made no mention of Israel during his statement. Critics argue the Pentagon has rebranded a humiliating military result, after months of failed deterrence against Houthi strikes in the Red Sea. The Pentagon's shifting rhetoric has sparked fresh debate over U.S. credibility, especially in light of its deep alliance with Israel. #Hegseth #HouthiAttacks #RedSeaConflict #PentagonNews #USNavy #MiddleEastCrisis #IsraelAlly #TailoredOperation #MilitaryFailure #HegsethStatement #FreedomOfNavigation #RedSeaWar #HouthisVsUS #USMilitary #IsraelNotMentioned #GazaWarImpact #USDefeat #Geopolitics #DefenseNews #YemenConflict ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.125~

Iran Nuclear Attack: Facts, Fallout, Fog | Did US Really Destroy Iran’s Nuclear Sites?| Analysis

Iran Nuclear Attack – three words that shook global diplomacy.

Now, intelligence reports challenge that claim — revealing that Iran’s key assets like enriched uranium and centrifuges were possibly moved before the bombs fell. With the Iran Nuclear Attack now in question, the world waits for clarity. Was it symbolic, strategic, or simply overstated?

Trump claims ‘total destruction’ of Iran’s nukes | Intel, IAEA & CNN call it a setback |Who’s lying?

U.S President Donald Trump says the U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites were a "total and unprecedented destruction."

Who's telling the truth? This video dives into what really happened during Operation Midnight Hammer: Did America’s biggest bombs fail to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program? Why are media outlets like CNN and NYT being called “fake news” by the White House?
