US Media Criticizes Pentagon for Withholding Information on Iran War

The US Department of Defense has been criticized for its silence on the military conflict with Iran. The Pentagon's refusal to provide information has been accompanied by a lack of press conferences and restricted access to information. For the past two and a half months, no press conferences have been held. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has not explained the military strategy behind the airstrikes, and the circumstances of the deaths of American soldiers have not been disclosed. According to CNN, the last official press conference was held on May 5. Pentagon Spokesperson Sean Parnell claimed that the government is providing 'continuous and comprehensive information' about the airstrikes in real-time.

President Trump and Secretary Hegseth are conveying our goals and resolute steps directly to the media and the American people through the internet, without any censorship. Moreover, the questions from 'Fake News' reporters provide almost no benefit to the public.

The reliance of military journalists on anonymous sources, which are being targeted by Hegseth, has increased the tension in the bureaucracy. A new task force was established last week to combat leaks within the Department of Justice.

We do not have enough resources to wage war safely, and I do not think the White House is aware of the situation.

Eric Schmitt from The New York Times reported that Iran has carried out several attacks on US forces in Jordan, resulting in injuries to dozens of soldiers and damage to several helicopters. However, the Pentagon has not commented on these attacks.
