President Donald Trump accused Democrats on Thursday of disclosing intelligence about the U.S. strike over the weekend, claiming the bombings on Iranian nuclear facilities did not fully destroy the sites after he declared they were &#8220;obliterated.&#8221;
In a post on Truth Social, Trump went so far as to suggest the culprits should face prosecution, although he did not name anyone in particular.
&#8220;The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the Nuclear Sites in Iran. They should be prosecuted!&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114751173173020083" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
A probe is already underway after CNN, as well as The New York Times, reported on early intelligence claiming the bombings did not completely destroy the sites and set back Tehran&#8217;s nuclear program only by a few months.
&#8220;We’re doing a leak investigation with the FBI right now, because this information is for internal purposes, battle-damage assessments,&#8221; Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rubio-hegseth-slam-media-over-iran-strike-leak-professional-stabbers-undermining-u-s-victory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Wednesday. &#8220;And CNN and others are trying to spin it to make the president look bad when this is an overwhelming success.&#8221;
The CIA and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard contend that further analysis <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cia-reveals-intelligence-showing-u-s-destroyed-key-iranian-nuclear-facilities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indicates</a> the facilities were in fact destroyed by the strike, which the Trump administration says was necessary to keep Iran from achieving nuclear weapons.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) <a href="https://x.com/SenSchumer/status/1938360522614649104" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> after a briefing on the Iran strike that it was clear the Trump administration lacked a &#8220;coherent strategy&#8221; and &#8220;no plan&#8221; for keeping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. He also pushed for a war powers vote and more answers.
Earlier in the day, Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fire-everyone-involved-trump-unloads-on-media-after-hegseth-presser-on-iran-strikes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assailed</a> the journalists from <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/24/politics/intel-assessment-us-strikes-iran-nuclear-sites" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> and The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/us/politics/iran-nuclear-sites.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a> who reported on the early intelligence, relying on unnamed sources.
“FAKE NEWS REPORTERS FROM CNN &amp; THE NEW YORK TIMES SHOULD BE FIRED, IMMEDIATELY!!! BAD PEOPLE WITH EVIL INTENTIONS!!!” he <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114750055630968441" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exclaimed</a> in all capital letters on Truth Social.
Trump also threatened a defamation lawsuit against the news outlets, demanding they retract the stories and offer apologies for them, but CNN and The New York Times are <a href="https://x.com/CNNPR/status/1937954110302519517" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defending</a> their reporting.
&#8220;No retraction is needed. No apology will be forthcoming. We told the truth to the best of our ability. We will continue to do so,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/maxwelltani/status/1938352292807221619" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> New York Times lead newsroom attorney David McCraw.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/leavitt-debunks-completely-false-report-that-top-dems-not-given-advanced-notice-of-iran-strikes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shot down</a> another CNN report over the weekend that claimed the Trump administration did not provide advanced notice of the strike to Democrat leaders in Congress, which led to a correction.
