Trump fired a verbal salvo at CNN earlier this week after the little-watched cable network published a statement from Iran that the commander-in-chief labeled a “fraud.” As it has done throughout the U.S. conflict with the Islamic Republic, CNN readily published a statement from Tehran claiming that Iran was victorious and “forced” Trump to accept a 10-point cease-fire agreement.
The network also claimed that, as part of the plan, the U.S. “has in principle agreed” to lift all sanctions against Iran and withdraw all US forces from all bases in the region.
The report also said the Trump administration has agreed to “accept Iran’s nuclear enrichment and recognize its control over the Strait of Hormuz, while “controlled passage through the waterway” would be conducted in coordinatio n with Iran’s military.
