New US Secretary of Defense restrictions on the press in the Pentagon
The US Secretary of Defense, who has been facing media disclosure in the short term, enacted new laws for journalists in the Pentagon.
In his latest decision, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegst imposed a set of restrictions on the press on Friday, which includes banning reporters from entering large parts of Pentagon without government escort, areas where the press has access to previous governments.
These limited sections include the Hegst office and his senior assistants and all various places throughout the massive Pentagon building in which the army, the Air Force, the Navy, the Marines and the Space Forces have press offices.
Restrictions also ban press access to the Pentagon Sports Center.
According to the Daily Twenty, new laws have been put in place to reduce unintentional and unauthorized information disclosure opportunities.
The US Secretary of Defense, emphasizing that it has made such a decision on national security, noted that while the ministry is still committed to transparency, it is equally obliged to protect the classified information and sensitive information that can cause unauthorized disclosure of the United States.
The News comes from a series of revelations from the Defense Ministry under the supervision of Hegst, including the “Signalgate” story in March, in which senior Trump administration officials, including Pete Hegest, used the “Signal” commercial messenger app to discuss the imminent attack on Yemen.
Other recent information from the Pentagon discovered include military operational plans for the Panama Channel, the establishment of the second aircraft carriers in the Red Sea, information on billionaire billionaire Ilan Musk’s trip to China, and news of information stopping for Ukraine.
According to a former Pentagon assistant, Hegest has become increasingly lonely and pessimistic as a result of these events, as he spends most of his time researching the revelations. In one of these cases, the revelations that brought the Pentagon to chaos, several Pentagon assistants were sent on administrative leave.
According to new rules, journalists will also be issued “clearer” identification cards with the “press” ID. The Hegest note on his decision also says that more security measures are on the way.
The US government announced earlier this year that four main news media from the Pentagon press, including the New York Times, NBC News, will be removed from the complex, and several other media were added instead.
US President Donald Trump’s actions against the media recently led to the fall of the United States in the World Index of Press Freedom released by the Institute for Reporters Without Borders. The country is now in the world with countries such as Gambia and Uruguay, and the group has warned of a tyrannical change in the US government’s behavior with the press.
