Pentagon bans photographers from Hegseth's Iran war briefings

The Pentagon has banned photographers from War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s press briefings on the war in Iran following the March 2 briefing of the joint U.S.-Israeli military strike and a history of contentious relationships with news outlets.

Photographers from several outlets, including the Associated Press, Reuters, and Getty Images, were present at the briefing and subsequently published photos, but were shut out from the two subsequent briefings at the Pentagon on March 4 and March 10.
