"My comments weren't actually on the Iran war. I understand why people say that. I made a statement quoting a tweet."
"Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up."
"You never know, but I don't have plans. Maybe we will, maybe we won't, as the big guy would say."
Brendan Carr, Chair of the Federal Communications Commission, clarified that his comments regarding broadcast licenses were misinterpreted. He stated that his remarks were not specifically about the Iran war but were a response to a tweet from Donald Trump about misleading headlines. Carr emphasized that broadcasters must operate in the public interest and could face license renewal issues if they do not. He denied any intention to threaten licenses and stated he has no plans to pull them, despite previous warnings about content aired by broadcasters.
