BREAKING: Trump Launches Investigation Into CNN World for Pushing ‘FRAUDULENT’ Iranian Ceasefire Statement — Says CRIMINAL ACT May Have Been Committed
President Donald Trump announced a two-sided ceasefire with Iran and agreed to pause planned military actions following discussions with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir. The announcement was made on Truth Social.
In his post, President Trump said he would suspend attacks on Iran for two weeks, conditional on the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized that the United States had already achieved its military objectives and that negotiations toward a long-term peace agreement were well underway. The president noted that Iran had submitted a 10-point proposal, which he described as a workable basis for further discussions.
“Almost all points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two-week period will allow the agreement to be finalized,” President Trump wrote. “On behalf of the United States of America, and representing countries of the Middle East, it is an honor to see this long-term problem close to resolution.”

بيان صادر عن الأمانة العامة للمجلس الأعلى للأمن القومي الإيراني:
يجب على الشعب الإيراني الشريف أن يعلم أنه ببركة جهاد أبنائه وحضورهم التاريخي في الميدان، فإن العدو منذ أكثر من شهر يتوسل لوقف نيران إيران والمقاومة العنيفة، إلا أن مسؤولي البلاد، وبسبب قرار اتُّخذ منذ البداية يقضي… pic.twitter.com/QMPNWQnoW8

Later, President Trump criticized CNN for reporting a false statement attributed to Iran regarding the ceasefire. He described the report as a “fraud” originating from a Nigerian website and called for the network to retract the story and issue an apology. The report in question claimed that Iran had forced the United States to accept a 10-point plan, including U.S. troop withdrawals, sanctions relief, and Iranian-controlled passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran’s official statement, issued by the General Secretariat of the Supreme National Security Council, outlined its view that most war objectives had been achieved and described preparations for negotiations in Islamabad. The statement emphasized that while discussions would take place, the country would continue to monitor the situation closely and maintain readiness to respond if necessary. The 10-point plan mentioned in the statement includes:
- Coordinated passage through the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control.
- Withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from regional bases.
- Lifting of primary and secondary sanctions and release of frozen Iranian assets.
- Binding resolution to enshrine agreements in international law.
The statement noted that the negotiations would last two weeks, with the possibility of extension by mutual agreement, and that the process is a continuation of the battlefield strategy, requiring national unity.
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung later condemned social media accounts that spread false claims about the so-called “10-point plan,” calling such reports “fake news” and criticizing their credibility.
