US EditionTrump Threatens to Sue NYT and CNN — They’re Not Backing Down
UNITED STATES, JUN 26 – Trump demands retractions and threatens lawsuits against CNN and The New York Times over reports that U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear sites caused only minor delays, based on preliminary intelligence.
- On June 21, President Donald Trump authorized airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, which he claimed obliterated Iran's nuclear program completely.
- On June 24, The New York Times and CNN published a leaked preliminary intelligence report suggesting the strikes only delayed Iran's nuclear program by a few months.
- Trump's administration, led by attorney Alejandro Brito, condemned the reporting as false, defamatory, and unpatriotic, demanding retractions and calling for the firing of involved journalists including Natasha Bertrand.
- Supporting officials like CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard asserted the nuclear sites were severely damaged and would require years to rebuild, while media outlets defended their preliminary reports and right to inform the public.
- The dispute reflects ongoing tension between the Trump administration and media, with investigations into intelligence leaks underway and The New York Times and CNN refusing to retract their stories.
