Trump Attacks CNN Reporter After Report on U.S. Strike on Iran
U.S. President Donald Trump criticized CNN correspondent Natasha Bertrand following her report on the U.S. intelligence assessment of the impact of the American strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Trump accused Bertrand of lying and spreading false information about Iran’s nuclear sites, asserting that she is attempting to tarnish the reputation of the pilots who successfully carried out the mission. He described her as unqualified to work in the media.
Bertrand was described as the first to publish information about the damages inflicted on Iranian facilities, which began on June 13 with strikes targeting sensitive sites in Tehran, resulting in the deaths of several military leaders and scientists.
CNN issued a statement fully supporting Bertrand, affirming that their reports are based on initial findings that may be updated, and that they serve the legitimate public interest.
