THE OFFENSE

Both CNN and The New York Times disseminated a fake ten-point plan they claimed was from Iran — with CNN even going so far as pushing the narrative that the Iranian regime was victorious and had “forced” the U.S. to accept its terms. When criticized for promoting terrorist propaganda, CNN admitted it had published the claims based on the word of unnamed “Iranian officials” and state media outlets. It’s a pattern for CNN, which has shilled for the terrorist Iranian regime throughout Operation Epic Fury — airing more than four minutes of uninterrupted Iranian state propaganda and interviewing regime spokesmen. Perhaps not coincidentally, CNN Senior Foreign Correspondent Frederik Pleitgen was the only U.S. network reporter allowed on the ground in Iran, where he delivered a glowing review of Iranian stores and gas stations while clutching a “fresh” cup of coffee.

THE TRUTH

Operation Epic Fury has been a decisive success, with the U.S. military obliterating Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal, annihilating its navy, and ensuring the terroristic regime never acquires a nuclear weapon. Whereas prior presidents have negotiated with Iran from positions of weakness — even sending the terroristic, radical Islamist regime pallets of cash — President Trump is negotiating from a position of strength.

Since the inception of Operation Epic Fury:
• Over 85% of the regime’s defense industrial base has been razed, with Iranian ballistic missile attacks and drone attacks down 90%.
• 150 Iranian warships and 97% of Iran’s naval mines have been destroyed
• The Iranian air force has halted flying entirely
• 70% of the Iranian regime’s launch facilities and ground control stations have been destroyed or degraded.
• Over 13,000 targets have been struck, including:
o More than 2,000 command and control targets
o More than 1,450 defense and industrial base targets
o More than 1,500 air defense targets
o More than 700 mine systems
o Approximately 800 attack drone targets
o More than 600 naval targets
o More than 450 ballistic missile targets
• Over 1,000 incoming attack drone threats have been intercepted
• Over 700 ballistic missile threats have been intercepted

KEY POINTS

• The New York Times and CNN pushed fraudulent Iranian regime talking points, demonstrating the media outlets’ anti-American sentiment and Trump Derangement Syndrome.
