US President Donald Trump launched a sharp attack on The New York Times, accusing it of spreading 'fake news' about the US-Iran war and misrepresenting recent developments.
Trump insisted that Iran had been 'totally obliterated' militarily, rejecting the narrative that the country was performing well or gaining ground.
The New York Times editorial board had previously criticised Trump's handling of the Iran war, calling it reckless and warning that it risks pushing Washington toward a strategic setback.
Trump also claimed the US has begun a blockade of Iranian ports and coastal areas, prompting Tehran to threaten ports across the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
