US President Donald Trump has accused CNN of reporting a “false statement” from Iran — allegedly picked up from a Nigerian news outlet — on the ceasefire reached last night.
The deal was announced roughly two hours before Trump’s deadline to destroy Iranian “civilisation”.
“The enemy, in its unfair, unlawful, and criminal war against the Iranian nation, has suffered an undeniable, historic, and crushing defeat,” CNN reported, quoting a statement from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
According to the statement, the security council said Iran achieved great victory and forced the US to accept its 10-point plan.
Trump kicked against the statement in a Truth Social post.
