The director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) was dismissed Friday, weeks after the agency prepared a preliminary bomb-damage assessment \u2014 later leaked to the media \u2014 that indicated U.S. strikes on Iran had delayed the country\u2019s nuclear program by only a few months.<\/p>\n
Air Force Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, who had led the DIA since February 2024, \u201cwill no longer serve as DIA director,\u201d a senior defense official told The Post.<\/p>\n
Deputy Director Christine Bordine is now listed as acting director on the agency\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly fired Kruse over a \u201ca loss of confidence\u201d in the lieutenant general, two congressional officials told the New York Times.<\/p>\n
The DIA\u2019s classified, \u201clow confidence\u201d assessment of the June 21 airstrikes on Iran\u2019s Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz nuclear sites was leaked to CNN three days after U.S. B-2 stealth bombers and cruise missiles targeted the facilities.An official said the assessment was based on limited intelligence collected the day after the strike. The document reportedly concluded that Iran could restore elements of its nuclear program within one to two months and that its stockpile of enriched uranium had not been destroyed in the airstrikes.<\/p>\n
The leak drew sharp anger from President Donald Trump and other senior administration officials. In a Truth Social post, Trump described the leak as \u201cAN ATTEMPT TO DEMEAN ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MILITARY STRIKES IN HISTORY.\u201d He added in all caps: \u201cTHE NUCLEAR SITES IN IRAN ARE COMPLETELY DESTROYED!\u201d<\/p>\n
Special envoy Steve Witkoff dismissed claims that the United States failed to achieve its military objectives in Iran, calling such suggestions \u201ccompletely preposterous\u201d during an interview on Fox News\u2019 The Ingraham Angle.<\/p>\n
He also condemned the leak of the DIA assessment, describing it as \u201coutrageous\u201d and \u201ctreasonous,\u201d and urged an investigation to identify and hold accountable those responsible, the New York Post added.<\/p>\n
Kruse\u2019s dismissal marks the latest shake-up within the intelligence community under the Trump administration.<\/p>\n
In April, former National Security Agency Director Timothy Haugh was removed from his post on the same day that at least three National Security Council staff members were also dismissed.<\/p>\n
A Defense Department spokesman lashed out Wednesday at a Washington Post investigation into Secretary Pete Hegseth\u2019s security detail, accusing the newspaper of endangering the Cabinet member and his family.<\/p>\n
\u201cWaPo intentionally published sensitive details of @SecDef\u2019s security detail for him and his family \u2013 putting their safety at risk,\u201d Joel Valdez, the acting deputy press secretary for the Department of Defense,\u00a0said\u00a0on X. \u201cThere should be severe punishment for what @TaraCopp, @DanLamothe, and @AlexHortonTX are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Post story, headlined \u201cHegseth\u2019s expansive security requirements tax Army protective unit,\u201d was published Wednesday morning and was allegedly based on more than a dozen interviews. Reporters Tara Copp, Alex Horton, and Dan Lamothe detailed how Hegseth\u2019s \u201cunusually large\u201d protective demands are straining the Army agency charged with safeguarding him, forcing agents to be pulled from criminal cases to cover his residences in Minnesota, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never seen this many security teams for one guy. Nobody has,\u201d one Pentagon source said, according to the paper.<\/p>\n
The story drew sharp criticism from Hegseth\u2019s chief spokesperson, Sean Parnell, who said the report ignored the volatile threat environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the wake of two assassination attempts against President Trump, ICE agents facing a 1000% increase in assaults, and repeated threats of retaliation from Iran for striking their nuclear capabilities, it\u2019s astonishing that the Washington Post is criticizing a high-ranking Cabinet official for receiving appropriate security protection, especially after doxxing the DHS Secretary last week,\u201d Parnell said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny action pertaining to the security of Secretary Hegseth and his family has been in response to the threat environment and at the full recommendation of the Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Washington D.C. \u2014 In a fiery and unprecedented moment on Capitol Hill, former judge and Fox News commentator Jeanine Pirro took the floor and delivered what many are calling a political reckoning for former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The usually composed hearing room erupted into chaos as Pirro unleashed a series of explosive allegations that left even veteran lawmakers speechless.<\/p>\n
Eyewitnesses described the scene as \u201ca storm in Congress.\u201d Pirro, armed with documents and a piercing tone, laid out accusations ranging from financial misconduct to backdoor political deals that allegedly benefited Pelosi\u2019s closest allies. \u201cThe American people have been kept in the dark for too long,\u201d Pirro declared. \u201cToday, the curtain falls. The truth will finally see daylight.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the accusations poured in, Pelosi struggled to maintain her composure. Sources inside the chamber say her staff rushed to contain the fallout while Democratic members exchanged nervous glances. Reporters scrambled for footage as murmurs of resignation and investigation spread like wildfire through the corridors of power. What began as a routine oversight session quickly transformed into one of the most dramatic confrontations in recent political memory.Pirro\u2019s words echoed across social media within minutes. Hashtags like #PelosiExposed and #PirroStrikesBack began trending nationwide. Supporters hailed Pirro as a \u201cvoice of justice\u201d while critics dismissed the spectacle as \u201cpolitical theater.\u201d Regardless of opinion, one fact remained undeniable: Pelosi\u2019s once-iron grip on Washington appeared to be slipping.<\/p>\n
Behind the scenes, analysts say this moment could signal the beginning of a larger reckoning. \u201cIf even half of what Pirro presented holds weight,\u201d one senior political strategist noted, \u201cit could shake the foundation of the Democratic establishment.\u201d Several Republican lawmakers have already called for a full inquiry, demanding transparency on every allegation raised.<\/p>\n
By the end of the day, the hearing room had fallen silent \u2014 but the aftershocks were only beginning. Pelosi\u2019s office issued a short, tense statement denying all claims and accusing Pirro of \u201cpeddling baseless conspiracy theories.\u201d Yet the damage, many argue, was already done. Public confidence, once a source of strength for Pelosi, now faces its greatest test.<\/p>\n
As night fell over Washington, headlines blazed across every platform: \u201cPelosi Exposed,\u201d \u201cThe Fall of a Power Icon,\u201d \u201cPirro\u2019s Day of Reckoning.\u201d For many Americans watching at home, it felt like the curtain had finally been pulled back on the hidden drama of Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n
Whether this moment marks the end of Pelosi\u2019s reign or merely another chapter in Washington\u2019s endless wars remains to be seen \u2014 but one thing is certain: Jeanine Pirro\u2019s words have changed the conversation forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
