Trump Calls NYT and CNN’s Published Iranian 10-Point Plan a “Complete Fabrication,” Attacks Media Over Iran Talks Coverage

Donald Trump sharply criticized the New York Times and CNN, describing their publication of a 10-point plan attributed to the Islamic Republic as an attempt to “discredit those involved in the peace process.” Trump wrote on Truth Social: “The failing New York Times and Fake News CNN each published a completely fabricated ‘10-point plan’ about the Iran negotiations, the purpose being to discredit people that are involved in the Peace Process.” The US President told the two outlets: “Every one of those 10 points was a made up HOAX, you Evil Losers!” His message on Truth Social ended with the slogan “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.” The “10-point plan” is said to be Iran’s response to the US’s 15-point plan for ending the conflict. Islamic Republic officials and media have claimed this plan forms the basis for ceasefire negotiations and ending hostilities with the United States.
