Trump Demands CNN Reporter Dismissal Over Iran Nuclear Reporting

President Donald Trump has launched a fierce public attack against CNN and its national security correspondent Natasha Bertrand, demanding she be fired and 'thrown out like a dog' for her reporting on the effectiveness of the U.S. airstrike on Iran's nuclear facilities. Trump insists the strike was a total success, accusing Bertrand of spreading 'fake news' and attempting to undermine the reputation of U.S. military personnel. CNN has strongly defended Bertrand, stating they stand 100% behind her journalism and emphasizing that their reporting reflected an initial intelligence assessment that was subject to change. CNN anchor Jake Tapper highlighted that the Defense Intelligence Agency classified the assessment as 'low confidence,' and stressed the importance of accurate intelligence reporting without political interference. Meanwhile, CNN anchor Dana Bash appeared visibly unsettled while responding to Trump's criticism during a recent broadcast. The dispute underscores the ongoing tension between the Trump administration and certain media outlets over coverage of sensitive national security matters.
