DID Press: In reports published on social media, users point out that ‘Douglas MacGregor,’ a retired U.S. Army officer and military analyst who previously served as a senior advisor at the Pentagon, claimed in an interview that Donald Trump is lying to the American people and that all U.S. military bases in the region have been destroyed.
These statements have been circulated on various video pages and Twitter posts and are being rapidly shared on unofficial media.
According to this claim, MacGregor said that U.S. military bases and port facilities in the region have been destroyed by enemy attacks, and the United States now has to rely on the ports and bases of third countries such as India.
These statements have received widespread attention on social media, with users describing them as a severe criticism of Trump and his administration’s handling of the war; however, it should be emphasized that there is no official report or published quote from McGregor in reputable international news media that confirms this claim.
Douglas Macgregor himself is a retired U.S. Army officer who served in the Gulf War and later worked in military analysis, but reliable news sources such as Reuters, AP, or CNN have not published any independent report about this specific statement of his.
