U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the war with Iran on his social media platform Truth Social, writing that Iran is "long known as an expert in media manipulation and public relations. They are weak and militarily ineffective, but good at 'feeding' false information that comes out of the media." According to him, "The fact is that Iran is being destroyed, and the only battles they are 'winning' are those they create through artificial intelligence and spread through corrupt media."
