Listen "Pentagon vs. the Press: Hegseth Defends Iran Strikes, Slams Media | June 27, 2025 | Hour 1"
Episode Synopsis
During Thursday’s Pentagon briefing, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a forceful defense of the recent U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Hegseth opened by outlining the objectives of the operation—deterring further nuclear escalation and protecting American allies—before praising the precision of U.S. forces. The session quickly turned combative when reporters pressed him on civilian-casualty estimates and whether the administration had consulted Congress beforehand. Critics across several major outlets have since blasted Hegseth’s sharp tone as an attempt to intimidate journalists and stifle legitimate scrutiny of the administration’s war strategy, while supporters argue his tough stance is warranted given what they see as irresponsible coverage.
