Arabic version: ترامب يصف تقارير الصحفيين عن إيران بالخيانة

US President Donald Trump called New York Times journalist David Sanger’s reporting on the Iran war as “treasonous” while claiming a “total military victory.”

The comments were made on May 15, 2026, during a press event where Trump addressed the media’s portrayal of the situation in Iran. According to Al Jazeera, Trump’s remarks reflect his ongoing frustration with the press and its coverage of military operations.

Sanger’s reporting has been a focal point for criticism from Trump, who has repeatedly challenged the media’s narratives surrounding the military engagements. The President’s use of the term “treasonous” indicates the heightened tensions between the administration and journalists covering sensitive topics.

The implications of such accusations could have significant effects on journalistic freedom and the relationship between the media and the government, particularly in the context of national security reporting.
