Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse has stepped down as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), a senior defense official confirmed Friday.

“The general will no longer serve as DIA director,” the official said, declining to specify whether Kruse was forced out. A DIA spokesperson added that Deputy Director Christine Bordine has assumed the role of acting director.

Kruse recently oversaw the agency’s preliminary assessment of a U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The report concluded that the sites were heavily damaged but not completely destroyed — a finding that directly contradicted President Donald Trump’s public claims that the facilities were “obliterated.”

The assessment, first reported by CNN, prompted repeated denials from Trump and fueled speculation about Kruse’s departure.

Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said it was “unsurprising” Kruse would step down after challenging the president’s narrative. “The firing of yet another senior national security official underscores the Trump administration’s dangerous habit of treating intelligence as a loyalty test rather than a safeguard for our country,” Warner said in a statement. He added that DIA’s “honest, fact-based analysis is exactly what we should want from our intelligence agencies.”

Kruse’s exit was part of a wider shakeup in the military’s top ranks. Two Navy admirals were also removed Friday, U.S. officials confirmed. Vice Adm. Nancy Lacore, chief of Navy Reserves, and Rear Adm. Milton Sands, commander of Naval Special Warfare — which oversees the Navy SEALs — were both relieved of their posts. Officials gave no explanation for their removals.

The departures add to a growing list of senior officers recently forced out, including Gen. Timothy Haugh, former head of the National Security Agency; Gen. Charles “C.Q.” Brown, the ex-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James Slife. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin also resigned earlier this year.
