As the U.S.–Iran war drags on, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth lashes out at the “dishonest press,” accusing media outlets of rooting against Donald Trump and undermining U.S. military progress. Hegseth slammed news coverage as biased, claiming critics want the President to fail and are amplifying setbacks in the Middle East conflict. Meanwhile, U.S. military objectives against Iran remain unchanged, with thousands of strikes carried out and no clear end in sight.

00:14Epic Fury is different. It's laser focused. It's decisive.
00:18Our objectives, given directly from our America First president, remain exactly what they were on day one.
00:28Destroy missiles, launchers, and Iran's defense industrial base so they cannot rebuild, destroy their navy, and Iran never gets a

00:53spin.
00:54A dishonest and anti-Trump press will stop at nothing, we know this at this point, to downplay progress, amplify
01:04every cost, and call into question every step.
01:09Sadly, TDS is in their DNA. They want President Trump to fail.
01:15But you, the American people, know better.
01:20Yes, there are reporters in front of me, but they are not our audience today.
01:26It's you, the good, decent, patriotic American people.
01:31You, the hardworking, tax-paying, God-fearing American patriots.
01:38The media here, not all of it, but much of it, wants you to think, just 19 days into this
01:47conflict, that we're somehow spinning toward an endless abyss, or a forever war, or a quagmire.
01:53Nothing could be further from the truth.
01:58Hear it from me, one of hundreds of thousands who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, who watched previous foolish politicians,
02:08like Bush, Obama, and Biden, squander American credibility.
02:13This is not those wars.
02:16President Trump knows better.
02:19Epic Fury is different.
02:22It's laser-focused.
02:23It's decisive.
02:25Our objectives, given directly from our America First president, remain exactly what they were on day one.
02:34These are not the media's objectives, not Iran's objectives, not new objectives, our objectives.
02:43Unchanged, on target, and on plan.
02:47Destroy missiles, launchers, and Iran's defense industrial base so they cannot rebuild.
02:55Destroy their navy, and Iran never gets a nuclear weapon.
03:00Our objectives from day one.
03:04To the patriotic members of the press, nobody can deliver perfection in wartime.
03:10This building knows that more than anyone.
03:13But report the reality.
03:16We're winning decisively, and on our terms.
03:22Iran is a vast country, and just like Hamas and their tunnels, they've poured any aid, any economic development, humanitarian
03:30aid, into tunnels and rockets.
03:32That's what they did with Hamas.
03:34Iran has funneled decades of state resources, not to their people, but into missiles and drones and proxies and buried
03:43facilities.
03:45But we are hunting them down, methodically, ruthlessly, and overwhelmingly, like no other military in the world can do.
03:54And the results speak for themselves.
