President Donald Trump called the New York Times’ Iran-war coverage ‘treasonous’ Sunday night, and said that he would add the paper’s latest reporting to his $15 billion defamation lawsuit. Trump posted on Truth Social that the way the New York Times is covering stories on Iran is ‘treasonous’ and that he will be adding all of their false and ridiculous reporting to his multi-billion dollar lawsuit against them.
Trump’s Statement
Trump’s posts followed a Sunday Times analysis by Neil MacFarquhar headlined, ‘What Changed After Almost Four Months of War? Analysts Say Not Much,’ which examined the war and the Trump administration’s interim agreement with Tehran. The Times analysis said the war and agreement did not end what U.S. and Israeli officials consider Iran’s main threats, including its nuclear program, ballistic missiles, regime and regional proxies.
Trump rejected the framing in an earlier post, saying Iran’s military had been badly damaged and the Strait of Hormuz remained open. The White House defended the Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU) as a diplomatic breakthrough after Operation Epic Fury, saying the agreement ensures Iran ‘will never obtain a nuclear weapon’ and reopens the Strait of Hormuz to free navigation.
