Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired the head of the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which has issued an assessment on US attacks on other senior military officers along with Iranian nuclear facilities.
The Lieutenant General Jeffrey Crust will no longer work as the head of Diya, a senior defense officer told Fox News Digital on Friday.
The firing was leaked in the news media months after the details of Dia Diya of Operation Midnight Hammer. The evaluation questioned the effectiveness of attacks on Iranian nuclear sites.

“You, press, especially you, press core, because you are happy with so hard against Trump,” he said. “This is to make your DNA happy against Trump and in your blood because you do not want it to be successful.
