How fractured right-wing media are spinning Trump's Iran capitulation

Media Matters for America · Media Matters for America · last updated

Right-wing media are split on the temporary two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States, with some calling it “victory” and crediting Trump’s “hyperbolic rhetoric,” while others remain skeptical, going as far as to call it “total U.S. defeat” and arguing the deal is “very difficult to accept.” Both critics and supporters of the war have criticized the terms of the ceasefire, saying it is a “defeat” and that “Iran practically got everything that they wanted.”
