Lt. General Jeffrey Kruse has been ousted as Defense Intelligence Agency director, a senior defense official confirmed Friday."Lt Gen Kruse will no longer serve as DIA Director," the official said in a brief statement.

The move follows an initial assessment by the agency in June indicating strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities had a more limited effect than President Trump said.

The move comes weeks after the agency drafted a preliminary report contradicting President Trump’s contention that U.S. strikes had “obliterated” nuclear sites in Iran.
