The media needs to stop pushing false narratives.
President Donald J. Trump didn’t mince words at a NATO summit press conference in The Hague, launching a fierce attack on liberal media outlets for spreading what he called “fake news” about America’s historic military strike on Iran.
The operation, which obliterated three key nuclear enrichment facilities in Iran—including the notorious Fordow site—was hailed by Israeli intelligence as a decisive blow to the Islamic regime’s nuclear ambitions. But while America celebrated a victory for global peace and security, left-leaning media organizations appeared more interested in casting doubt.
Trump Calls Out CNN, New York Times Over “Fake News” Reports
“We received confirmation from the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission,” Trump stated. “‘The U.S. airstrike completely destroyed Fordow’s critical infrastructure. It’s no longer functional. Iran’s nuclear program has been set back many years—perhaps permanently.’”
Instead of reporting this breakthrough honestly, Trump said outlets like CNN and The New York Times immediately tried to undercut the mission, publishing stories that contradicted real-time military intelligence.
“CNN is fake news. They maligned our military. They treated our pilots—who risked everything—as if their mission didn’t matter,” Trump said. “They’re wasting everyone’s time. Nobody watches them anymore.”
Missouri Pilots Left “Devastated” by Liberal Media Spin
The President shared that he received an emotional call from Missouri—home to many of the elite Air Force personnel involved in the strike. Trump said the pilots were stunned and disheartened by media attempts to downplay their achievement.
“These brave men flew 36-hour missions into enemy territory. They risked their lives. And then the media comes in and tries to make it look like nothing happened,” Trump said. “They were devastated—not because of the enemy, but because of CNN.”
Pete Hegseth: The Media Doesn’t Care About the Truth
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, speaking beside Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, condemned the press for pushing politically motivated narratives.
“This was a surgical strike. Courage, skill, precision—our troops did the impossible,” Hegseth said. “But CNN and The New York Times? Their instinct is always to spin, always to protect the Biden administration, and always to attack President Trump. They don’t care about our troops or national security—they care about their agenda.”
White House Slams “Leaked” Intel: A Deep State Move?
Shortly after CNN ran its story questioning the impact of the strikes, a White House official fired back—saying the report was based on limited, outdated intelligence, likely leaked by a rogue anti-Trump figure within the government.
“This was a preliminary, unverified assessment from Sunday,” the official told Fox Digital. “It was not cleared by the intelligence community. This was a leaker with an agenda—trying to undermine the President and mislead the public.”
Karoline Leavitt Torches CNN: “Same Reporter Lied About Hunter Biden Laptop”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt unloaded on the CNN reporter responsible for the Iran story—reminding Americans that the same journalist falsely claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was “Russian disinformation.”
“This is a pattern of behavior. The liberal media lies to protect Democrats and smear President Trump,” Leavitt posted on X. “The bombs were 30,000 pounds each. Fourteen of them hit their mark. That’s not ‘maybe’—that’s obliteration.”
Trump: Iran Must Choose Peace—or Face Even Greater Force
President Trump concluded his address by making it clear: America’s enemies should never mistake restraint for weakness.
“For 40 years, Iran has chanted ‘Death to America.’ They’ve killed our people, maimed our soldiers with roadside bombs, and threatened our allies,” Trump said. “Now their nuclear dreams are in ashes. If they escalate again, the next response will be faster—and even more devastating.”
Legacy Media Doubles Down, Despite Backlash
Both CNN and The New York Times defended their reporting, insisting their articles were based on genuine assessments. But critics note that these stories rely heavily on anonymous sources and conveniently fit anti-Trump narratives.
A Defense Intelligence Agency official confirmed the report CNN used was “low-confidence” and “unauthorized for release.”
“We’re investigating the leak. It never should’ve reached the press,” the official said.
Conservatives Fire Back: “The Media Is the Real Threat”
From military veterans to middle America, conservatives are calling out the mainstream media for trying to undermine national morale during a time of international crisis.
“The press used to root for America,” one veteran wrote on social media. “Now they root for failure—if it means hurting Trump.”
Bottom Line: Trump Delivers Results—Media Delivers Disinformation
While biased outlets continue to push doubt, the facts remain: Iran’s nuclear sites were wiped off the map. The mission was executed flawlessly. And once again, it’s President Trump standing strong for American security—while the media plays politics.
