US President Donald Trump sharply criticized CNN and The New York Times for reporting that Iran’s nuclear facilities were not destroyed after American strikes, according to Trump on Truth Social.

“Fake news CNN, together with the failing New York Times, have teamed up in an attempt to demean one of the most successful military strikes in history. The nuclear sites in Iran are completely destroyed”, - writes Trump.

According to the US president, both the New York Times and CNN are facing heavy criticism from the public.

CNN and The New York Times stated that US strikes on Iranian sites did not fully eliminate Tehran’s nuclear program.

CNN, citing US intelligence, noted that the strikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran did not destroy the core components of the program. This contradicts previous claims by Donald Trump that the nuclear program had been wiped out.
