Hegseth fires general whose Iran strikes assessment angered Trump

WASHINGTON: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired a general on Friday whose agency’s initial intelligence assessment of damage to Iranian nuclear sites from US strikes angered President Donald Trump, according to two people familiar with the decision and a White House official. Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse will no longer serve as head of the US Defense Intelligence Agency, according to the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly. The firing comes a few months after details of the preliminary assessment leaked to the media.
