President Donald Trump expressed his frustration with CNN's reporting on U.S. airstrikes in Iran aimed at its nuclear program. While he asserted that the strikes were a great success, intelligence assessments contradicted his claims, suggesting the damage was less extensive than stated. During a NATO summit photo op, Trump reiterated his grievances against CNN and the New York Times, arguing that their portrayal of the operation disrespected the military personnel involved. He called for more supportive coverage, demanding recognition of the operation's achievements.
We had a tremendous success, and this is the New York Times, I call it the failing New York Times, it's going to hell, and CNN, which as you know, very few people are watching.
What hurt me about their reporting and even wrote some news copy for them: it’s really demeaning to the pilots and the people that put that whole thing together, the generals.
