Trump slap in the media while the Israeli report confirms devastated Iranian sites

President Donald Trump and defense secretary Pete Hegseth headed for the “false news” media at a press conference at the NATO summit for doubting that the United States on Iran has erased the country’s nuclear program.

“A statement came from the Israel Atomic Energy Commission,” said Trump at a press conference on Hague on Wednesday as he wrapped his NATO summit trip to the Netherlands. “They are very serious people, as you know.”

“‘The American devastating strike from Fordow destroyed the critical infrastructure of the site and made the installation of enrichment completely inoperable’,” said Trump in the letter. “” It was devastated. We have assessed that American strikes on Iranian nuclear installations had enlisted Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons for many years to come. This achievement can continue indefinitely if Iran does not have access to nuclear matter. “”

Trump targeted the American media for initially put in doubt that the strikes he ordered on Iran on Saturday evening were not as devastating as the administration initially reported it, calling media such as CNN “fake news” and slamming them to have “clever” the American army by doubting the ferocity of the strikes.

“I just want to thank our pilots,” said Trump. “You know, they have been shifted and treated very badly, planed by the false new CNNs, which is there, believe it or not, losing time, wasting time.

The president added that he had received a call according to which the pilots who deployed from Missouri to Iran for strikes were “devastated” due to certain media which are trying to minimize the success of the mission.

“Do you know, I received a call from the Missouri? A great state that I gained three times by many. And I received a call according to which the pilots and the people of the plane were devastated because (the media) tried to minimize the attack. And they all said it was struck,” but oh, but we do not think it was really serious. “And they were devastated,” he said.

“They brought their lives into play and then they did it, and I do not refer to you, but to a real foam,” continued Trump, while speaking with a journalist from NBC. “The real foam comes out and write relationships as negative as they could be.”

Hegseth, who joined Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the top, also criticized CNN and the New York Times at the press conference. Hegseth argued that such media work “to find a way to run” news.

“There is a reason why the president calls for false news for what it is,” said Hegseth. “These pilots, these supplies, these fighters, these air defenders. The skill and the courage it took to go to the enemy territory by stealing 36 hours in the name of the American people and the world to eliminate a nuclear program exceeds what anyone in this audience can imagine.”

“And then the instinct, the instinct of CNN, the instinct of the New York Times, is to try to find a way to run it for their own political reasons, to try to hurt President Trump or our country. They do not care what the troops think. They do not care about what the world think. Do they share all the information or simply the part they want to present?”

Trump announced on Saturday evening in a Truth surprise social position that the American army had managed to execute strikes on three Iranian nuclear installations, saying that in an address to the nation later at night, the facilities were “completely and completely erased”.

“For 40 years, Iran says:” Death in America. Death in Israel “. They killed our people, breathtaking their arms, exploding their legs with bombes by the road,” said Trump in his address on Saturday with the trio standing behind him. “It was their specialty. We lost more than a thousand people, and hundreds of thousands through the Middle East and the whole world died accordingly of their hatred, in particular.”

“Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and completely erased,” said Trump. “And Iran, the Middle East intimidator, must now make peace. If they do not do so, future attacks would be much larger and much easier.”

A handful of inherited and liberal media have tried to doubt that strikes have really devastated Iranian facilities, including CNN publishing an exclusive Tuesday affirming “American strikes on Iran have not destroyed nuclear sites, “while the New York Times reported The Fordow nuclear installation was “seriously damaged” but not “destroyed”.

A White House official told Fox Digital on Wednesday that CNN reports were based on a limited intelligence assessment from a day of a day on Sunday and that she was not coordinated with the Global Intel community. Instead, the White House manager said, a “thug” who works to “under” Trump “disclosed a bad intel to a bad journalist”.

An official of the senior defense intelligence agency also told Fox Digital on Wednesday: “This is a preliminary report of trust and low confidence and will continue to be refined as additional information becomes available. We work with the appropriate authorities to investigate the unauthorized disclosure of classified information.”

Officials of the White House, including press secretary Karoline Leavitt, criticized reports such as “Fake News”, in particular by stressing the same CNN journalist behind the strikes on Iran’s history “also wrote the very first false news claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop was a disinformation.”

“This alleged” evaluation “is wrong and has been classified as” top secret “but has always been disclosed to CNN by a low -level anonymous loser in the intelligence community,” Leavitt posted on Tuesday of the CNN report. “The flight of this alleged evaluation is a clear attempt to lower President Trump, and to discredit the brave hunting pilots who have carried out a perfectly executed mission to erase the nuclear program of Iran. Everyone knows what is happening when you drop fourteen bombs of 30,000 pounds perfectly on its objectives: total obliteration.”

CNN told Fox Digital on Wednesday that he stuck with his reports.

“CNN maintains our in-depth reports on an early assessment of recent strikes on Iranian nuclear installations, which has since been confirmed by other press organizations. The White House has recognized the existence of the evaluation, and their declaration is included in our history,” said a Fox Digital spokesperson on Wednesday.

The New York Times also defended its reports in the comments provided in Fox Digital on Wednesday.

“Yesterday, President Trump called this” false news “”, but he and all his national security team then confirmed that the Defense Intelligence Agency had in fact produced the preliminary evaluation described in a report of Times and others. So their declaration was false, not the reports of the Times. We will continue to report fully on the decision-making of the administration, including the president’s dispute with the Defense Intelligence Agency, as we did this morning, “said New York Times spokesman Charlie Stadtlander, in a statement provided to Fox Digital.
