CNN is standing by its reporting after the defense secretary spent several minutes complaining about unfavorable coverage of the Trump administration’s war in Iran.
In a press conference held on Friday morning after six U.S. troops were killed in an Air Force refueling plane crash in Iraq, Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth took a large portion of his time to voice pre-prepared remarks about his issues with the media’s coverage of the war.
“More fake news from CNN, reports that The Trump Administration Underestimated the Iran War’s Impact on the Strait of Hormuz," Hegseth read. "Patently ridiculous, of course. For decades, Iran has threatened shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. This is always what they do, hold the strait hostage.”
