Trump Criticizes CNN Amid Leaked Iran Strike Report Investigation

News summary

President Donald Trump has publicly criticized CNN, calling the network 'scum' and vehemently disputing its coverage of recent U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. CNN reported on a Defense Intelligence Agency assessment suggesting the strikes only delayed Iran's nuclear program by a few months, a conclusion Trump vehemently rejected, accusing CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand of misinformation and calling for her firing on Truth Social. Trump and his supporters have characterized the leaked intelligence report as low-confidence and politically motivated, asserting that the strikes, particularly Operation Midnight Hammer, were far more effective than reported. CNN has defended Bertrand and its reporting, emphasizing journalistic standards despite Trump's attacks. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and major news outlets, with Trump framing criticism as attacks on American military efforts while CNN maintains its reporting is accurate and necessary. This dispute reflects broader political and media battles surrounding intelligence leaks and the portrayal of U.S. military actions.
