In a significant purge within the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired several senior officials, including Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). This decision follows the release of an intelligence assessment regarding the effectiveness of U.S. strikes in Iran that reportedly angered former President Donald Trump. The firings emphasize ongoing tensions within national security circles as the administration navigates its foreign policy strategies. Critics, including Senator Warner, have condemned the dismissal, suggesting it further politicizes intelligence operations.
