Overview

  • Trump announced a two-week pause Tuesday that depends on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Hours later, he accused CNN of publishing a fraudulent Iran statement and said authorities were investigating.
  • CNN said it got the document from known Iranian officials and noted it ran on Fars and Tasnim state outlets.
  • CNN's live blog said Iran claimed a great victory and a 10‑point plan that includes lifting sanctions and pulling U.S. forces, which the White House disputes.
  • Other outlets carried similar Iran security council language, as truce talks continue through Pakistan and the stakes for a key oil route remain high.
