Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth openly criticized Fox News Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin, calling her “about the worst” when it comes to coverage of the Pentagon and their recent mission in taking out Iran’s nuclear program.

The tense exchange took place during a press conference, in which Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, joined Hegseth to brief reporters on the success of the airstrikes against Iran.

Hegseth, who had absolutely excoriated the media early on in the presser, now took a shot at Griffin.

The Fox News reporter asked the Defense Secretary how he could be sure “that all the highly enriched uranium was in the Fordow mountain” when the bombing took place, noting satellite imagery purportedly showing trucks moving out before the onslaught.

“Are you certain none of that highly enriched uranium was moved?” she asked.

Hegseth was not in the mood.
