US President Donald Trump has sharply criticized several American media outlets for their coverage of a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. In multiple posts on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump singled out CNN and other networks, accusing them of failing to credit US pilots for what he described as a successful operation called “Operation Midnight Hammer,” which he claimed destroyed Iran’s nuclear sites.

Trump alleged that the media were downplaying US achievements and spreading misleading narratives. He asserted that the United States was “winning by a large margin” in its conflict with Iran, but said reports from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post portrayed the situation as if the US were losing. He further accused these outlets of helping Iran by confusing its leadership through biased reporting.

The statements, reported by Al Jazeera, reflect ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and major US media organizations over coverage of foreign policy and military actions.
