President Donald Trump reacted on Thursday to reports on where negotiations stand with Iran amid the ongoing Israeli-U.S. war.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, he argued that reports saying he was uneasy about the ongoing conflict were inaccurate and tried to set the record straight, while also attacking The New York Times and CNN for their reporting.
He wrote the following:
"For those people, fewer in number now than ever before, that are reading The Failing New York Times, or watching Fake News CNN, that think that I am 'anxious' to end the War (if you would even call it that!) with Iran, please be advised that I am possibly the least pressured person ever to be in this position," Trump wrote.
He also tried to claim the outlets had lost their integrity and audience while unleashing threats on Iran.
"I have all the time in the World, but Iran doesn’t — The clock is ticking!" Trump wrote. "The reason some of the Media is doing so poorly with Subscribers and Viewers is because they no longer have credibility. Iran’s Navy is lying at the bottom of the Sea, their Air Force is demolished, their Anti Aircraft and Radar Weaponry is gone, their leaders are no longer with us, the Blockade is airtight and strong and, from there, it only gets worse — Time is not on their side! A Deal will only be made when it’s appropriate and good for the United States of America, our Allies and, in fact, the rest of the World."
