Report says program likely set back only a few months; Iran and Israel both say they will honour truce if other side does after Donald Trump expresses frustration at violations
Donald Trump has blasted CNN and the New York Times, claiming they have teamed up to “demean one of the most successful military strikes in history”, and has declared Iran’s nuclear sites are “completely destroyed”.
The US president also claimed in the post on his Truth Social platform that the two media organisations are “getting slammed by the public”.
FAKE NEWS CNN, TOGETHER WITH THE FAILING NEW YORK TIMES, HAVE TEAMED UP IN AN ATTEMPT TO DEMEAN ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MILITARY STRIKES IN HISTORY. THE NUCLEAR SITES IN IRAN ARE COMPLETELY DESTROYED! BOTH THE TIIMES AND CNN ARE GETTING SLAMMED BY THE PUBLIC!
Iran and Israel both said they would honour the ceasefire if the other side did the same. Earlier on Tuesday Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran would respect the ceasefire announced by Trump, provided that Israel also upholds its terms. “If the Zionist regime does not violate the ceasefire, Iran will not violate it either,” he said. Hours later, Israeli defence minister Israel Katz said he told his US counterpart Pete Hegseth that “Israel will respect the ceasefire – as long as the other side does”.
