Former CIA Director and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta says the Trump administration’s approach to releasing casualty information about the Iran war has been “shameful.”
Panetta, who oversaw the assassination of Osama Bin Laden during the presidency of Barack Obama, says Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is handling the release of information about Iran all wrong.
Mike Segar/REUTERSRoughly 430 US troops have been injured since President Donald Trump first attacked Iran on Feb. 28.
Hegseth has appeared reluctant to discuss the cost—financial or otherwise—of the war, even when ordered to do so by Congress.
The Department of Defense and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
