Donald Trump, the president of Iran, has accused CNN of publishing a false statement claiming victory over the country's Supreme National Security Council, claiming it was a fraud. The statement was issued by Iran's Supreme N Security Council shortly after CNN announced a two-week ceasefire in the war in Iran. The White House is investigating whether or not a crime was committed on the issuing of the Fake CNN World Statement. CNN defended its reporting on the statement, stating that the statement was obtained by CNN from Iranian officials and reported on multiple Iranian state media outlets. Senior international correspondent Matthew Chance addressed the claim on CNN, claiming the statement had previously appeared on Iranian state news agencies.
