Following the US and Iran reaching a ceasefire on Tuesday evening, Trump said that CNN is being investigated over a "false statement" it posted regarding the ceasefire that CNN said came from Iranian officials, who claimed "victory."
In a liveblog post from CNN, the outlet stated that "Iran says it has achieved a great victory and forced the United States to accept in principle its 10-point plan, according to a statement from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council reported by Iranian state media." As part of the alleged plan, the US, CNN reported, had "in principle agreed to lift all primary and secondary sanctions against Iran and to withdraw US combat forces from all bases in the region, the council said according to state media." The post had appeared under a headline that read, "Iran claims victory, says it forced US to accept 10-point plan."
A US official told Fox News that the framework circulating publicly is dated. “There is an updated plan, Iran has already conceded to many of those old points,” the official said. This would mean that the previously reported plan may no longer reflect the current state of negotiations between the Trump admin and Tehran.
