TL;DR

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has dismissed Lt Gen Jeffrey Kruse, head of the DIA, following a leaked intelligence report that suggested Iran's nuclear program was only slightly impacted by US strikes, contradicting Trump's claims of complete destruction. This firing is part of a broader pattern of dismissals and upheavals within the US military and intelligence agencies under the Trump administration, often without public explanation.
