US Defence Intelligence Agency chief among latest military officers ousted ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

Lieutenant General Jeffrey Kruse will no longer serve as DIA director after the agency produced a preliminary assessment contradicting presidential claims about Iran strikes.

This contradiction drew ire from both President Donald Trump and officials within his administration according to reports.

Two other senior officers are also leaving their positions according to separate anonymous official sources.

The United States launched a massive operation against three Iranian nuclear sites in June involving more than 125 US aircraft and a guided missile submarine.

Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth insisted the assessment was leaked because someone had an agenda to try to muddy the waters and make it look like this historic strike wasn’t successful.

Other senior officers dismissed this year include the heads of the Navy and Coast Guard along with the general who headed the National Security Agency.

The chief of staff of the Air Force recently announced his retirement without explanation just two years into a four-year term.

The Pentagon chief additionally ordered at least a 20% reduction in active-duty four-star generals and admirals earlier this year.

A 10% cut in the overall number of general and flag officers completes the restructuring of military leadership. – AFP
