WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has fired the head of the Defence Intelligence Agency, a senior defence official and a senator said on Aug. 22, weeks after the agency drafted a preliminary report that contradicted President Donald Trump's contention that Iran's nuclear sites had been "obliterated" in US military strikes.
Air Force Lieutenant-General Jeffrey Kruse is the latest senior Pentagon official, and the second top military intelligence official, to be removed since Mr. Trump's return to office.
General Timothy Haugh, head of the National Security Agency, was ousted this spring after a right-wing conspiracy theorist complained about him.
