Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, criticized the American media for their reporting on the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, labeling some articles as 'fake news.' He specifically targeted CNN for downplaying the potential impact of the attacks on the strategic Hormuz Strait. Despite the halt in shipping traffic due to Iranian attacks, Hegseth claimed the strait is not closed and suggested that the media should portray Iran as retreating. The Pentagon has also restricted press access to briefings related to Iran. Teljes cikk (Telex.hu)
