From a couple of different reports it’s said Trump don’t like NetInYahoo much :dunno: :dunno:

They say that’s why he told them “they better get a deal done”

Not saying he don’t support Israelis cause that would be a lie. He’s connection with the Mavs owner is strong.

Some even say Trump said Bibi is the problem in Israel.

:dunno: :dunno: :dunno: :dunno:


The way he trying to take Gaza from Bibi seemed kinda surprising

Trump wants CNN reporter fired ‘like a dog’ for debunking Iran strike claims​

Wednesday, 25 June 2025 10:53 PM [ Last Update: Wednesday, 25 June 2025 10:53 PM ]

US President Donald Trump has launched a fiery tirade against a CNN reporter for debunking his unsubstantiated claims about the so-called "obliteration" of Iran's nuclear sites following American strikes, while the network has stood by her.

Natasha Bertrand’s reporting, co-authored with Katie Bo Lillis and Zachary Cohen, had cited a leaked preliminary assessment by the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which found that the Sunday attacks caused only minimal damage to the facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

The report also noted that Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile remains intact despite Trump claiming that the country’s nuclear program was finished.

Fuming over the leak, Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Wednesday, saying that Bertrand should be fired by CNN management.

“She should be IMMEDIATELY reprimanded, and then thrown out ‘like a dog.’”

He accused her of lying, disrespecting American pilots, and lacking the ability to be an on-camera correspondent, besides calling CNN a "fake news network."

CNN, however, responded with a statement of support for their reporter, saying it "stands 100% behind Bertrand’s journalism and specifically her and her colleagues’ reporting.”

The network added that it was in the public interest to report the findings and that it had also covered Trump’s own skepticism concerning the assessment.

Senior CNN anchors Pamela Brown and Wolf Blitzer also pushed back, calling Trump’s claims about Bertrand and the network “absolutely false” and a “straw man argument.”

Brown emphasized that the reporting did not demean the military but accurately reflected early Pentagon assessments.

Meanwhile, the White House rejected the leaked assessment and attacked the unnamed source behind it. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the intelligence report “flat-out wrong” and claimed it had been leaked by a “low-level loser."

Despite the DIA's findings, the Israeli regime, the US's closest ally in the West Asia region, which launched a 12-day war of its own against the Islamic Republic earlier this month, backed Trump’s assertion.

Tel Aviv claimed the US and Israeli strikes had set back Iran’s nuclear program “by many years.”

Experts and satellite imagery analysts have shown that the Islamic Republic’s underground facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan remained largely operational.

Tehran, itself, has dismissed claims of "obliteration" of its nuclear sites and vowed to continue expanding its peaceful nuclear energy program robustly.

“They cannot uproot it,” Atomic Energy Organization of Iran spokesperson Behrouz Kamalvandi said on Tuesday, underlining the profoundly strong nature of the country's nuclear industry.

CNN report, citing the leaked assessment findings, said Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile remains intact, with one source noting that the centrifuges targeted in the attacks suffered little damage.

Damage across all three targeted facilities, Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, was primarily limited to aboveground structures, including power systems and facilities used in converting uranium to weapons-grade metal, the CNN cited sources as saying.

Jeffrey Lewis, a nuclear weapons expert at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, told CNN that commercial satellite imagery of the nuclear sites supports the assessment that Iran’s program remains largely intact.

“The ceasefire came without either Israel or the United States being able to destroy several key underground nuclear facilities, including near Natanz, Isfahan, and Parchin,” Lewis said.

“These facilities could serve as the basis for the rapid reconstitution of Iran’s nuclear program,” he added.
 

Netanyahu corruption trial resumes with prosecution cross-examination after month-long recess​

Judges order the trial to run four days a week, dedicating almost all of the defense and prosecution teams’ time to the case; even with the increased schedule, the trial stretches into 2026 and may continue beyond​



After more than a month-long recess, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial resumed Monday with his cross-examination by the prosecution. On the eve of the session, judges ruled that beginning in November, the trial will be held four days a week to expedite proceedings, even though until now the court has struggled to hold two days of testimony per week. Although cross-examination began four months ago, only a few sessions have taken place and only the most recent ones directly addressed the indictment. The trial is expected to extend well into late 2026.
Monday’s session focused largely on the judges’ decision to hold the trial four days a week, a move that dedicates nearly all the time of both defense and prosecution teams exclusively to this case. The prosecution supports the schedule, partly out of concern that Netanyahu is attempting to delay his cross-examination, while the defense faces an all-or-nothing situation. With the judges’ approval, defense attorneys met with Netanyahu and informed him they would not be able to continue representing him if the decision was not reversed.


Israeli law requires that a lawyer cannot simply resign and stop representing a client immediately. Judges must approve or deny the resignation to ensure a defendant’s right to a fair defense is not compromised. For example, in December 2024, the lawyers representing Miki Ganor, the main defendant in the submarine case, requested to resign because he was not paying them. The court proposed that Ganor be assigned a public defender from the Justice Ministry. Nine months later, the court had still not released the lawyers. Even if attorney Amit Hadad threatens to resign, the judges will make the final decision. Replacing lawyers would delay the trial by at least one to two months to allow new attorneys to study the extensive case material.
Under the current schedule of two days of testimony per week, Netanyahu’s trial is expected to conclude in the first half of 2026. Additional months will be required for the judges to draft a verdict, pushing the process into 2027. Any conviction is likely to be appealed to the Supreme Court by the defense and possibly also by the prosecution if the judges acquit Netanyahu on the bribery charge in Case 4000, which the prosecution continues to pursue. This could add another year to a year and a half, meaning the trial could extend into 2028 or early 2029.

Prolonged trials are not unusual for cases involving a prime minister, but the judges’ motivation to expedite proceedings is clear, although it is uncertain how much can realistically be achieved at this stage.

So far, Netanyahu has undergone only four days of cross-examination, most of which served as an introduction to the indictment and focused on his relationship with Arnon Milchan as part of Case 1000. In the coming months, cross-examination will continue on this case, led by Jonathan Tadmor, head of the Tax and Economic Affairs District, and prosecutors Alon Gildin and Keren Tzviran. Tadmor, who won the position of Deputy Attorney General for Economic Enforcement with support from Attorney General Amit Ishman, will continue overseeing cross-examination in his new role.

During the initial days of cross-examination, Tadmor and Gildin aimed to show the judges that Milchan courted Netanyahu and gave him cigars and overseas vacations due to his high political status. Netanyahu argued their relationship was “genuine friendship” with no outside interests. The prosecution emphasized that Netanyahu’s ties to Milchan strengthened as he planned his return to public life following his 1999 election defeat. Netanyahu rejected this, saying their friendship deepened “precisely while I was on a political hiatus.”
