CNN defended its reporting Tuesday after President Donald Trump ordered an investigation into the network, saying the statement at the center of the dispute was obtained directly from known Iranian officials and had been carried by multiple Iranian state media outlets.
In a statement emailed to Newsweek, a CNN spokesperson said the network followed standard verification procedures and relied on official Iranian channels for the material Trump is now challenging.
Trump said in a post on Truth Social shortly after he announced the ceasefire that CNN made a false statement in the moments following the announcement of the ceasefire Tuesday night.
