Defense Intelligence Head Fired
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency Jeffrey Kruse. Hegseth declined to give a reason for the firing. But a few top admirals and dozens of other defense analysts also were let go.
What has they done? Kruse notably had contradicted President Donald Trump by declaring that this summer’s missile strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities had produced limited damage.
The question becomes: Did Trump order the firing because he believed Kruse had not been loyal? Were the Iranian facilities actually destroyed, or did they simply suffer limited damage? Here’s more from Vertex.
