Intelligence chief fired after controversial Iran report
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired the head of the federal Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Jeffrey Kruse, reports the Washington Post. The announcement comes after the DIA released a report in June stating that the US attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran had only slowed the country's nuclear program by a few months.
The report thus contradicted the White House's claims that Iran's nuclear facilities had been "destroyed".
No official explanation has been given other than that Hegseth "lost confidence" in Kruse. The dismissal is one in a series that affects high-ranking defense and intelligence officials in the US.
