The Trump administration responded to a CNN report about the ineffectiveness of U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities by planning to restrict Congress's access to classified information. The administration labeled the report 'flat-out wrong' and focused on discrediting CNN, specifically targeting reporter Natasha Bertrand. President Trump criticized the news outlet and the leak, claiming it undermined the actions of U.S. forces. The decision to limit information sharing with Congress appears a direct reaction to concerns over leaks that disputed public claims about the success of military operations in Iran.
Trump's administration will limit classified information sharing to Congress following an alleged leak regarding U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear program.
The Trump administration denied accusations from CNN's report on strikes in Iran, calling them misleading and accused CNN of spreading false information.
