Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ripped into the media for failing to positively cover Donald Trump's 'historically successful' strikes on Iran.

The president over the weekend authorized 30,000 pounds of explosives to 'obliterate' Iran's three largest nuclear sites dubbing it a total success.

But days later, a leaked report from the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) reportedly stated that the U.S. strikes only delayed Iran from getting a nuclear weapon by a couple of months. It also said that much of the enriched uranium was moved out ahead of the B-2 bomber hits.

Hegseth is holding a press conference at the Pentagon on Thursday morning to slam CNN, the New York Times and other outlets that disclosed the report's findings calling it 'preliminary.'
