U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out at CNN during a tense exchange aboard Air Force One, dismissing a reporter’s question on whether Iran takes U.S. threats seriously as “stupid” and branding the network “fake.” The confrontation unfolded as tensions with Tehran escalated following deadly protests inside Iran and renewed warnings targeting U.S. bases. When pressed on the credibility of American deterrence, Trump abruptly shut down the line of questioning, repeating his dismissal while pointing to years of U.S. pressure under his leadership.
