Trump Reacts Sharply to CNN and MSNBC Claims on Iran’s Nuclear Program
U.S. President Donald Trump called CNN and MSNBC "trash" in response to their skepticism over Washington’s claims about destroying Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
U.S. President Donald Trump harshly criticized CNN and MSNBC after these media outlets aired doubts about Washington’s statements regarding the destruction of Iran’s nuclear potential. During a public speech, Trump said: “CNN, you're garbage! And everything you broadcast is trash,” accusing the networks of spreading disinformation and undermining public trust in the actions of the U.S. government.
According to Trump, the information about the complete neutralization of Iran’s nuclear program is accurate and backed by intelligence data. He emphasized that the military operation was executed precisely and efficiently, and any attempts to question its outcome represent politically motivated sabotage. The President stressed that such media narratives harm national security and hinder public unity in times of external threat.
Doubts about the complete destruction of Iran’s nuclear facilities were previously raised in CNN and MSNBC coverage. Experts expressed concerns that certain components of the program might have survived or been relocated. The need for confirmation from international bodies, particularly the IAEA—which has not yet gained full access to all sites—was also highlighted.
Trump accused the media of systematically undermining confidence in the government and armed forces. He stated that Americans no longer need outlets that serve the interests of political opponents. In his view, criticism of U.S. foreign policy is not freedom of speech but deliberate sabotage.
Trump’s comments sparked widespread public reaction. CNN and MSNBC declined to issue official responses, citing editorial independence and the right to expert debate. Political circles continue to discuss the boundaries of criticism during wartime and amid heightened international tensions.
Amid ongoing escalation between the U.S. and Iran, the question of objective media coverage of government actions remains central. The Trump administration insists on transparency and the reliability of the information provided, while some media outlets demand international verification.
