Trump lashes out at CNN, MSNBC over reporting on Iran air strikes

President Trump slammed CNN and MSNBC in a blistering attack Tuesday after the networks suggested that Iran’s nuclear targets were not completely destroyed in US air strikes over the weekend.

“I see CNN all night long, they’re trying to say, ‘Well, maybe it wasn’t really as demolished as we thought,’” Trump told reporters as he prepared to jet off to a NATO summit in the Netherlands.

“I think CNN ought to apologize to the pilots of the B-2s, I think MSNBC ought to apologize. Cable networks are real losers, you’re gutless losers,” he added, before boarding Air Force One.

The president’s ire came as a former UN nuclear weapons inspector said that he believes Iran’s nuclear centrifuge program, used to enrich uranium close to weapons-grade levels, was obliterated in the attacks.

“It’s amazing how much damage has been done to that program. I think that part of the mission has been accomplished,” David Albright, now president of the Institute for Science and International Security, told CNN.
