🔹 U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a hard-hitting speech at Quantico, sharply attacking American media and accusing them of acting even worse than Iran’s state media.

Hegseth, referring to coverage by some outlets, said: "What we call our press makes Iran’s state media look reasonable!"

He added that these outlets, by disclosing the moves and military bases, provide information to the enemy, and with "shameless enthusiasm for political revenge" have turned a blind eye to the consequences of their reckless reporting.

Addressing the servicemen, Hegseth stressed: "They really undermine you as warriors. The truth is that many of them don’t hate the president less than they love the country. When they lie, they put your lives directly at risk."
