Le chef du renseignement militaire américain renvoyé
A senior official announced Friday the dismissal of the head of US military intelligence, following the dismissal of several senior officers in recent months.
The dismissal of Lieutenant General Jeffrey Kruse, who had held the post since early 2024, comes shortly after his office assessed that US strikes on Iran in June had set Tehran's nuclear program back by several years.
This report, which has been widely reported in the press, differs significantly from the claims of President Donald Trump, who insists that the attacks in question completely destroyed the targeted nuclear sites.
This divergence is said to have aroused the anger of the Republican leader.
Jeffrey Kruse "will no longer serve as director of the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency)," the senior military official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. He did not provide a reason for the dismissal.
Since returning to power, the Republican leader has presided over the dismissal of multiple senior Pentagon officials, starting with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Charles Brown.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a Donald Trump loyalist, defends the president's right to choose the military's leadership as he sees fit, but Democratic lawmakers have expressed concern about its potential politicization.
