After an apparent de-escalation of the conflict with Iran following retaliatory strikes on U.S.
On Sunday, he reiterated his support amid the weekend protests, in which thousands of Iranians expressed their anger over the Khamenei government’s admission that it unintentionally shot down a Ukrainian passenger plane outside Tehran on Wednesday, killing all 176 people on board. , where he has casually and consistently eroded the relationship between the White House and the press. From effectively ending press briefings to limiting access for reporters asking critical questions, the president has treated American journalists as a hostile force.
It is important to delineate the president’s treatment of the press from that of the Khamenei government in Iran, where intelligence officers have reportedly threatened to “kidnap” Iranian journalists working abroad. It is important, also, to recall that Trump’s rhetoric at home is not without consequence. “We’ve had multiple cases of people using the same rhetoric as the president,” a TV news network security director told Mother Jones, describing threats sent to their reporters.
