Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell is blasting the release of a classified military assessment, escalating a political and national‑security fight over the U.S. war in Iran.
The clash comes as new reporting from The Washington Post revealed top commanders warned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that prolonged operations in the Middle East are straining the force.
The dispute now raises questions about transparency, readiness, and the administration's management of a six‑month conflict that has already stretched the U.S. military across multiple theaters.
