President Trump in a lengthy social media post Sunday evening blasted Iran and media outlets for promoting AI-generated "FAKE NEWS" about the war.

"Iran has long been known as a Master of Media Manipulation and Public Relations," Trump posted on Truth Social, as the U.S. conflict with Iran, as of Monday enters its 17th day. The conflict, Operation Epic Fury, is a joint effort with Israel.   

 "They are Militarily ineffective and weak, but are really good at 'feeding' the very appreciative Fake News Media false information. Now, A.I. has become another Disinformation weapon that Iran uses, quite well, considering they are being annihilated by the day. They showed phony 'Kamikaze Boats,' shooting at various Ships at Sea, which looks wonderful, powerful, and vicious, but these Boats don’t exist — It’s all false information to show how 'tough' their already defeated Military is!"

Trump also pushed back on a Wall Street Journal report from Saturday that said five Air Force refueling planes had been damaged in an Iranian missile strike at Prince Sultan air base in recent days but were being repaired.

"The five U.S. Refueling Planes that were supposedly struck down and badly damaged, according to The Wall Street Journal’s false reporting, and others, are all in service, with the exception of one, which will soon be flying the skies. Buildings and Ships that are shown to be on fire are not — It’s FAKE NEWS, generated by A.I," Trump said Sunday.

On Saturday, Trump posted regarding the Journal report, “In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not ‘struck’ or ‘destroyed,’” he wrote. “Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly.”

Trump on Sunday also slammed reports that the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier had been set on fire.

"For instance, Iran, working in close coordination with the Fake News Media, shows our great USS Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier, one of the largest and most prestigious Ships in the World, burning uncontrollably in the Ocean. Not only was it not burning, it was not even shot at — Iran knows better than to do that! The story was knowingly FAKE and, in a certain way, you can say that those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information!" he wrote.

"The fact is, Iran is being decimated, and the only battles they 'win' are those that they create through AI, and are distributed by Corrupt Media Outlets. The Radical Leftwing Press knows this full well, but continues to go forward with false stories and LIES. That’s why their Approval Rating is so low, and I can win a Presidential Election, IN A LANDSLIDE, getting only 5% positive Press — They have no credibility!" Trump continued.

He also reacted to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr warning Saturday that broadcasters accused of spreading “fake news” could face consequences during their upcoming license renewals.

"I am so thrilled to see Brendan Carr, the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), looking at the licenses of some of these Corrupt and Highly Unpatriotic 'News' Organizations," Trump said. "They get Billions of Dollars of FREE American Airwaves, and use it to perpetuate LIES, both in News and almost all of their Shows, including the Late Night Morons, who get gigantic Salaries for horrible Ratings, and never get, as I used to say in The Apprentice, 'FIRED.' Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
