Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, has unleashed a barrage of criticism against CNN via his Truth Social platform, targeting the network's coverage of his recent statements regarding Iran. Following Trump's threats to 'obliterate' Iran, CNN aired a statement from Iran's Supreme National Security Council claiming a significant defeat for Trump after he called off military action. Trump labeled CNN's report as a 'FRAUD' and suggested it was linked to a disreputable source, demanding an investigation into the matter.
