Pete Hegseth criticizes 'fake news' coverage of Iran strikes, says only tragedies make front page
Fox News
War Secretary Pete Hegseth praised President Donald Trump's "moral clarity" on Iran Tuesday, vowing to obliterate Iran's missiles and prevent nuclear weapons development.
"Sure, Iran will still be able to shoot some missiles and still be able to launch one-way attack drones at civilian targets and their proxies will attempt to attack our embassies, bases and soft targets. They are terrorists, after all, and they need to target civilians because they can't fight toe-to-toe. But we will find them and kill them," the war secretary asserted.
"This is what the fake news misses. We’ve taken control of Iran's airspace and water without boots on the ground. We control their fate. But when a few drones get through or tragic things happen, it's front-page news," he continued. "I get it, the press only wants to make the president look bad, but try for once to report the reality. The terms of this war will be set by us at every step."
