This morning Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth went off on the legacy media and the Trump Derangement Syndrome that has permanently infected them.
Hegseth was joined by Gen. Dan Caine, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
Together the two had a presentation featuring plenty of video that basically dropped a bunker buster on the Democrat and lib media narrative about the Iran strikes being unsuccessful:
The CNN report that AP, Washington Post and NY Times “confirmed” is getting obliterated by this briefing right now.

Unless, of course, we’re going to starting doubting the chair of the Joint Chiefs and all the evidence he’s providing… https://t.co/Mwn32CWOE7
First off, SecDef Hegseth took aim at the "scoops" that have been going around from the same media types that helped push the "stories about Hunter Biden's laptop and its contents are part of a Russian misinformation campaign" BS.
🔥🔥🔥HEGSETH SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT, lists all the intelligence assessments that CONFIRM the U.S. airstrikes were a success and Iran’s nuclear facilities were:

"Destroyed"
"Rendered...inoperable"
"Significantly damaged...setting [the nuclear program] back by years." pic.twitter.com/oNutfKrfwT
General Caine also had plenty of video and explanations that made it clear the missions were successful, despite current reports from select propagandists in the media:

If you read stories from CNN and others it sounds like this was a haphazard mission cobbled together at the last minute on the whims of Donald Trump, and that is of course not true:
The fact that General Caine said we had a guy watching the construction of the nuclear sites for 16 years, then made a specific bomb to deal with it….. astonishes even me.

The attention to detail required to get this done, I simply can’t bend my mind to.
In short, another media/Dem narrative has, not unlike Iran's nuclear facilities, turned to dust.
