As reports of Iran’s retaliatory missile launches circulate, President Trump is taking aim not at Tehran, but at the American press. In a post just minutes ago, he accused “Fake News” outlets of minimizing the damage caused by U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Trump insisted the sites were “totally destroyed” and lashed out at anchors by name, ridiculing them with altered nicknames.
Among those singled out: “Allison Cooper of Fake News CNN,” “Dumb Brian L. Roberts, Chairman of ‘Con’cast,” and “Jonny Karl of ABC Fake News.” Trump also referred to “the Losers of, again, Concast’s NBC Fake News,” accusing the networks of working “especially hard on this falsehood.” While offering no new evidence, the president claimed that even these outlets admitted the sites were “pretty well destroyed.”

Trump’s post did not address the missile response from Iran directly, which U.S. officials continue to monitor closely. No American casualties have been reported, but the situation remains tense, with additional military movements and potential countermeasures under consideration.
