Hi there, everyone. It's 4 o'clock in the East, a masterclass from Team Trump today in

deflection and confusion and gaslighting on an issue that seems to be haunting the Trump

administration in the wake of Saturday's airstrikes in Iran. The question is, has Iran's nuclear program been, as Donald Trump asserted

Saturday night and has repeated every day since, obliterated as they keep using that word over and

over again. At a press conference this morning, Fox News weekend host turned America's Secretary

of Defense, Pete Hegseth, tore into the news media for daring to

report on a preliminary assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency that claims that the

bombings may have set Iran's nuclear program back by only a few months at best. We'll spare you

a replatforming of all of his aggressive attacks on the media for

second because real news was made. We did learn some new stuff at this press conference. We just

didn't learn it from Pete Heggseth. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kane,

refused to say that the strikes, quote, obliterated Iran's nuclear facilities, as Donald Trump keeps saying.

Watch.

On Sunday, you said final battle damage will take some time.

And you also said, I think BDA is still pending.

And it would be way too early for me to comment on what may or may not still

be there at nuclear facility. That was just over three days ago. So what has changed? Would you use

the term obliterated as well? Sure, like I said, we don't do BDA. I'll refer that to the

intelligence community.

And that right there is actually the whole issue that's being debated.

Were the strikes successful in terms of hitting targets?

Yes.
