Trump demands NYT apologizes amid an intense wave of negative coverage
President Donald Trump attacked The New York Times on Truth Social, condemning its coverage of the Iran war as "fake news."
Trump claimed Iran has been "totally obliterated" militarily and accused NYT of portraying Iran as winning.
NYT has published critical investigative reporting undermining administration accounts, including one determining the U.S. likely bombed an Iranian girls' school, killing 175 civilians — a claim Trump officials deny.
Trump questioned the newspaper's integrity, demanding apologies, "When does this Corrupt Media Outlet apologize for their LIES and horrible actions against me, my supporters, and our Country itself! HAVE THEY NO SHAME? HAVE THEY NO SENSE OF DECENCY?"
The rant reflects escalating tensions between the administration and mainstream media as scrutiny intensifies over the unpopular Iran conflict.
Trump's rhetoric has escalated as his approval ratings decline amid criticism of military operations and civilian casualties.
