It’s breaking from the anti-Trump Washington Post that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has finally fired the head of the DIA, a Biden-holdover who ran the agency that leaked out a preliminary report claiming that the US military’s bombardment of Iran only set them back two months.

Here’s the report:

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has fired Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the latest senior military or intelligence officer to lose his position in a wider purge of national security agencies’ top ranks, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, didn’t immediately cite a reason for the dismissal other than “loss of confidence,” a catchall term Hegseth has used to justify the sacking of other senior military officers this year.

The firing follows a preliminary assessment from the DIA — the Pentagon’s main intelligence wing — of the military strikes on Iran’s three main nuclear sites in June, which prompted vicious backlash from the Trump administration after it was first reported by CNN and the New York Times.

That preliminary report assessed that Iran’s nuclear capabilities had been set back only a matter of months, in contrast to Hegseth’s and President Donald Trump’s statements that the capabilities had been “obliterated.”

The Pentagon and the Defense Intelligence Agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I actually like that Hegseth didn’t just flippantly fire Kruse after that report came out, meaning he probably conducted an internal investigation and then fired him after he saw the results.

Either way, he was a political appointee by the previous administration and now he’s gone. Good on Hegesth.
