Former US President Donald Trump launched a sharp attack on the mass media, accusing them of spreading "misleading" information. In his statements on the Truth Social platform he claims that Iran is using artificial intelligence as a new weapon of disinformation, creating and distributing fake images and video clips of military operations. Among the fakes, Trump says, are footage of attacks by small boats, strikes on tanker aircraft and on American ships.
Trump said that some US media knowingly reproduce these materials despite being aware of their unreliability. He accused the so-called "radical left journalism" of coordinating with Iran to spread "lies" about the conduct of hostilities, insisting that Iranian forces are "being defeated daily" and that reports of US losses are unfounded. In addition, the politician attacked major media institutions for losing trust and called for a review of the licenses of certain television channels that, in his view, use American airwaves to lie, endorsing the FCC chairman's intention to carry out such checks.
These statements came amid Trump’s daily comments on the development of an American-Israeli war against Iran, in which he claims that the US is "completely destroying the regime" in that country and that Iran's navy and air force have supposedly already been smashed. Recall that since February 28 Israel and the US have been striking Iran, resulting, according to reports, in hundreds of deaths, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and security officials. Tehran is responding with missile and drone launches at Israel, as well as attacks on what it calls American bases and interests in Arab countries, which has already led to casualties, injuries and damage to civilian infrastructure.
