'Barack Obama flew cash into Tehran': Hegseth drops BOMBSHELL, links Iran deal to Iranian weapons

Hegseth took aim at the press early in his remarks, urging reporters to accurately portray the war effort. "You wouldn’t know it if you listened to the dishonest, anti-Trump media," Hegseth said. "These cameras… they have a choice. You’re either informing the American people of the truth or you’re not… My message to the media is: get it right." Hegseth framed the operation as a historic success, crediting President Donald Trump for authorizing what he described as a rapid and effective dismantling of Iran's military capabilities.
