TFG's White House tried to meddle in Pentagon reporting on US injuries after Iranian missile attack
The Trump White House asked the Pentagon to change the way it reported casualties after the Iranian missile attack that injured numerous US service members over concerns about negative press, a former Trump administration official said.
In January 2020, just a few days into the new year, the US military killed Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike, a move that Alyssa Farah, then the Pentagon press secretary, called "extreme" in a podcast interview that aired Thursday.
Farah told Michelle Kosinski, host of the podcast "One Decision," that in that moment it was "hard not to think about the gravity of what could unfold," saying "there was so much that could go wrong." There was a "lingering feeling" that the US and Iran might be "on the cusp of war," she said.
She said there was a degree of relief in the aftermath of the successful strike, which killed a leader that US officials said was involved in arming Iran-backed proxy forces and planning attacks on Americans.
