Mike Turner Calls out CNN: Trump Admin. ‘Didn’t Say’ that Bombs ‘Destroyed Iran’s Nuclear Sites’
EXCERPT:
TURNER: "Well, first, let‘s understand that this — what the reporting is about, a leaked report, so we don‘t have the report. We don‘t know what the report itself actually says. But then let‘s go to the next step, is that we have this headline that CNN is reporting with. The headline says, 'U.S. bombs did not destroy Iran‘s nuclear sites, early intel suggests.' What‘s troubling about that headline, and, Phil, let‘s try to, you know, get us all back on track here, is that headline is not fake news, but it‘s not news, because the administration did not say that the bombs destroyed Iran‘s nuclear sites. I have in front of me the president‘s statement, and the president said that they had sent -- they had carried out massive precision strikes on three key nuclear facilities. And at that nuclear facilities, the objective was the destruction of Iran‘s nuclear enrichment capacity at those facilities. He then went on to say that Iran‘s key nuclear enrichment facilities at those sites were completely and totally obliterated. He didn‘t say the sites were completely obliterated. The sites actually are massive and are huge, and facilities are huge. So Iran‘s nuclear sites, as CNN‘s headline says, were not destroyed or completely obliterated. No one is saying that.”
