US President Donald Trump has condemned CNN for its coverage of Iran, claiming the network disseminated a false statement attributed to high-ranking Iranian officials.
The media conflict emerged as diplomatic initiatives progressed after Trump declared a two-week ceasefire agreement with Iran.
CNN dismissed the accusation, stating its report relied on trustworthy sources, including Iranian officials and state media outlets.
The exchange underscores the persistent tension between Trump and the broadcaster, which has often been criticized by the administration regarding its reporting on the Iran conflict.
