US Defence Secretary Heather Hegseth has sparked controversy with her scathing criticism of media coverage surrounding the ongoing conflict with Iran. In a rare rebuke, Hegseth accused the press of spreading "misinformation" and "propaganda" that undermines the efforts of US military personnel. Her comments come at a time of heightened tensions between the US and Iran, with many observers calling for greater transparency and accountability in the war effort. As the conflict continues to escalate, Hegseth's remarks have raised questions about the role of the media in shaping public opinion and whether the US government is attempting to exert control over the narrative.
