President Trump criticized New York Times reporter David Sanger for what he called 'treasonous' media coverage of the U.S. conflict with Iran, claiming the military operation was misrepresented. He asserted a military victory while accusing the media of distorting facts, particularly regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities and military strength. Trump's remarks come amid ongoing complaints from administration officials about media portrayal of the conflict, which is now in its 12th week.
