Pentagon places further restrictions on journalist access

The Pentagon implemented new rules requiring government authorization for all information released to journalists, even unclassified data. Reporters refusing to comply will lose press credentials. Press associations and Democratic lawmakers strongly condemned this move, viewing it as an attack on press freedom and transparency. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended the measures, citing the need to safeguard national security information. The new rules restrict reporter access within the Pentagon and impose stricter security protocols.
