The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff admitted that it’s not his job to assess the damage inflicted by President Donald Trump’s bombing of nuclear facilities in Iran.
Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine was wheeled out Thursday alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for a Pentagon press briefing, which Trump promised would be an “irrefutable” rebuttal to a leaked U.S. intelligence report that undermined his claims about the damage inflicted at the three targets. Trump has continuously insisted the facilities were “obliterated,” while the leaked preliminary report said the bombings likely only delayed Iran’s nuclear ambitions by a matter of months.
After Hegseth used the press conference to lash out at the media that covered the leaked report from the Defense Intelligence Agency—which is part of the Defense Department, which Hegseth leads—Caine provided information about the crew and weapons involved in the Iran operation, dubbed “Midnight Hammer.”
