A viral video circulating widely on X and other social media platforms claims to show US President Donald Trump ordering a CNN reporter's microphone to be cut off during a tense confrontation. The dramatic footage has sparked fresh reactions online, with many users sharing the clip as if it depicts a recent exchange between Trump and the media. However, a fact check reveals that the video is not new. The viral footage actually originates from a press room confrontation that took place several years ago and has resurfaced online amid renewed political discussions. Despite being presented by some users as a recent event, the exchange occurred roughly seven years ago during a heated interaction between Trump and a CNN journalist. WATCH

Tensions between the United States and Iran are reaching a dangerous new level after US President Donald Trump hinted at the possibility of “another big hit” against Tehran, sparking an explosive response from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). In a fiery warning, the IRGC declared that its “devastating blows will crush” America if fresh military action is launched against Iran. The latest escalation has pushed West Asia closer to a potential regional conflict, with Tehran warning that any future war would spread “far beyond the region.” As diplomatic talks between Washington and Tehran remain deadlocked, Iran has accused the “American Zionist enemy” of mobilizing the full strength of major militaries against the Islamic Republic. Despite the rising tensions, Iranian officials insist they have “not yet deployed the full power of the Islamic Revolution.”
