Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has had it with fake, “low-confidence” reports stating that the damage done to Iran’s nuclear facilities is not severe. Hegseth unloaded while taking questions during a press conference at the NATO Summit in The Hague this week. “There’s a reason the president calls out fake media for what it is,” Hegseth began. “These pilots, these refuelers, these fighters, these air defenders, the skill and courage it took to go into enemy territory flying 36 hours on behalf of the American people and the world is beyond what anyone in this audience can fathom.” Hegseth continued:
