Hegseth Slams Media at Pentagon Briefing on Iran: 'You Cheer Against Trump so Hard'

  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth held a press conference on June 25, 2025, at the NATO summit in The Hague to address media coverage of the Iran airstrikes.
  • The conference followed a leaked preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency report suggesting the strikes delayed Iran's nuclear program by only months, which Hegseth and President Trump disputed.
  • Hegseth accused the media of spreading biased leaks and 'cheering against Trump,' defended the pilots who flew a 36-hour mission into enemy territory, and criticized the press for ignoring the strike's success.
  • Trump called the pilots 'devastated' by attempts to minimize the attack and cited an Israeli report assessing the strikes destroyed critical infrastructure at Fordo and rendered it inoperable.
  • The event highlighted tensions between officials and media while raising questions about the actual damage to Iran's facilities and the challenge of verifying classified intelligence leaks.
