Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has criticised media coverage of the U.S. and Israel's military actions against Iran, accusing them of focusing on tragic incidents that have killed service members in an effort to make President Donald Trump look bad. He stated that the combination of the two countries' intelligence and combat power will control Iran, and that the terms of this war will be set by them at every step. Since becoming the defense secretary, Hegstandh has sought greater controls on news media with permanent credentials to access the Pentagon.
