US EditionTrump’s Stupidest Cabinet Member Is Hard Call but Has Clear Winner
Defense Secretary Hegseth calls media dishonest and allies unhelpful in Iran war, defending extensive U.S. strike operations that hit thousands of targets.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday criticized the American media and reporters as dishonest, saying he was speaking directly to the American people rather than the reporters present.

- He described hunting targets across Iran, with the largest strike package arriving that day and over 7,000 targets struck, while more than a dozen American service members have been killed since the war started.
- Former correspondent Barbara Starr warned rhetoric could endanger reporters; Jon Favreau said, 'Ungrateful European allies he's just taking shots at people for no good reason.'
- On the diplomatic front, he singled out the Strait of Hormuz, blasting NATO allies for not helping reopen it while only Estonia has stepped forward, and reports say others declined.
