Fake News CNN is at it again.

While U.S. forces deliver crushing blows to obliterate Iran’s terrorist regime, CNN’s hack “journalists” are peddling Democrat-sourced fiction to undermine our decisive victories in Operation Epic Fury.

CNN alleged the Pentagon and the National Security Council “did not plan” for Iran’s willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz.

- Wrong.

As Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has made crystal clear, the military has planned for this exact contingency for decades.

Operation Epic Fury is deliberately designed to annihilate Iran’s navy, missiles, drones, and launch capabilities precisely to eliminate any meaningful threat to global shipping lanes like the Strait of Hormuz — and thanks to President Trump’s commitment to energy dominance, America is fully prepared to crush short-term disruption and emerge stronger than ever.

CNN further alleged “top Trump officials acknowledged” this to lawmakers in a classified briefing.

- Wrong.

Actual briefing participants torched this lie:

Sen. Tom Cotton: “As Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, let me make clear: whoever leaked this lied. CNN should do some fact-checking. The U.S. has planned for Iran to try to close the strait for decades.”

Sen. Tim Sheehy: “I received a classified briefing from the administration. It is categorically false that they did not plan for Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz. Lawmakers and national security officials have known for years that this was Iran’s plan once their backs were against the wall.”

Under President Trump’s bold and resolute leadership, Operation Epic Fury continues to advance its clear objectives: destroying Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal and production capacity, obliterating its navy, severing its support for its terrorist proxies, and ensuring the regime can never threaten the free world with nuclear weapons.

No amount of CNN hackery will change that.
