U.S. President Donald Trump has unleashed a scathing attack on American media outlets regarding their coverage of the ongoing conflict with Iran.

In a series of provocative statements, the President accused various news organizations of spreading misinformation and suggested they should face charges of treason.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, President Trump alleged that U.S. media outlets are acting in coordination with Tehran.

He claimed that Iran is utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to manufacture and disseminate "fake news" to deceive the public.

Allegations of Fabricated Footage
Specifically, the President pointed to reports suggesting a major U.S. naval asset had been compromised.

"Iran, working in close coordination with the Fake News Media, is showing our great USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier burning uncontrollably at sea," Trump wrote.

He further asserted that Iran is "failing" and "getting destroyed," claiming that the country is only achieving victories in a virtual sense through AI-generated content propagated by what he termed "corrupt media."

Praise for Regulatory Crackdown
President Trump also took the opportunity to praise Brendan Carr, the head of the U.S. regulatory body (FCC), for his aggressive stance against misinformation.

Carr recently announced plans to review the broadcasting licenses of news outlets accused of intentionally spreading false information.

The President’s endorsement signals a potential escalation in the administration's efforts to regulate media content deemed hostile to national interests.
