Washington's Reality Check
Hegseth clapped back at critics during a fiery presser: 'No uranium was moved on my watch.' 🔥 But lawmakers like Senator Mark Warner stressed only ground inspections can confirm the program's status. Meanwhile, CIA Director John Ratcliffe claims rebuilding Iran's nuke program would take 'years.' ⏳
