Trump blasts NYT over reporting of Iran conflict

 

President Donald Trump blasted The New York Times (NYT) over its reporting of the Iranian conflict, calling the outlet “Corrupt.” The United States commander-in-chief pointed to the destruction of the Islamic Republic’s military capabilities to contrast the claims purported by the newspaper.

“The headline in the Corrupt and Failing New York Times: ‘What Changed After Almost 4 Months of War? Analysts Say Not Much.’ REALLY? Their Military is DONE, their Navy is GONE, their Air Force is GONE, their Launching Pads, Missiles, Drones and Manufacturing of same, is almost GONE, their top two sets of Leaders are GONE, their Inflation is at 250%, their Economy is Broken, their Soldiers aren’t being paid, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN, THE OIL IS GUSHING, and the U.S. Stock Market and Jobs are at records HIGHS. That’s what’s CHANGED, you corrupt and unethical cowards, and MORE!!!” the president posted to Truth Social on Sunday.

 His assertions come amidst peace talks taking place in Switzerland between the U.S. and Iran, where Vice President JD Vance is leading the U.S. delegation. However, ongoing conflict between Israel and the Iranian terrorist proxy in Lebanon, Hezbollah, reportedly threatens to disrupt negotiations.

The two countries signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) last week, with the 60-day clock beginning on Thursday to finalize a permanent peace deal.
