U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out at CNN during a tense exchange aboard Air Force One, dismissing a reporter’s question on whether Iran takes U.S. threats seriously as “stupid” and branding the network “fake.” The confrontation unfolded as tensions with Tehran escalated following deadly protests inside Iran and renewed warnings targeting U.S. bases. When pressed on the credibility of American deterrence, Trump abruptly shut down the line of questioning, repeating his dismissal while pointing to years of U.S. pressure under his leadership.

Russia is analyzing whether U.S. plans to supply Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, warning that such a move could escalate the war. The Tomahawk, a precision-guided long-range missile capable of striking 1,000 miles, would allow Ukraine to hit targets deep inside Russia. Ukraine already possesses long-range domestic and Western-supplied missiles, including the Flamingo, Neptune, and Harpoon.
