Hegseth talks up US strikes on Iran in push for public approval
Defence Secretary Hegseth pushes for public approval of US strikes on Iran during Pentagon briefing. He presents evidence of attack success, refutes defense intelligence assessment suggesting less effectiveness, and criticizes media coverage as unpatriotic. Hegseth aims to sway divided public opinion and appease President Trump's concerns, claiming the strikes were a historic success based on intelligence findings presented.
