Trump Criticizes Media Over Iran Strikes Coverage Amid Qatar Base Attack

President Donald Trump fiercely defended the U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, insisting the targeted sites were 'totally destroyed,' and criticized media figures such as CNN's Anderson Cooper and ABC's Jonathan Karl for what he called 'fake news' coverage that questioned the effectiveness of the attacks. Trump also made controversial remarks mocking former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's reference to nuclear weapons as the 'N word,' drawing criticism amid heightened tensions following Iranian shelling of a U.S. military base in Qatar. Medvedev condemned the U.S. strike, stating it failed to achieve its objectives and denied any intention by Russia to supply nuclear warheads to Iran, emphasizing adherence to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Critics like The Daily Beast challenged Trump's approach and leadership, labeling his ego as a greater threat than Iran’s nuclear ambitions, while concerns about media bias and the impact of AI on journalism were also highlighted. Despite differing views on the strike's impact, Trump maintained his stance, blaming the media for undermining his actions and accusing them of having 'zero credibility.' The controversy underscores ongoing tensions between the U.S., Iran, Russia, and the media landscape amid escalating geopolitical conflicts.
