'Natasha Bertrand should be FIRED from CNN! I watched her for three days doing Fake News.' He wrote on his Truth Social platform that she should be chastised IMMEDIATELY and then discarded "like a dog."
Live Events
The meltdown was Donald Trump's most recent attack on the media, which he has used frequently since it started to wonder if the US strikes on Iran's three main nuclear enrichment facilities had been "obliterated."
'She should not be allowed to work at Fake News CNN. It's people like her who destroyed the reputation of a once great Network. Her slant was so obviously negative, besides, she doesn't have what it takes to be an on camera correspondent, not even close. FIRE NATASHA!', Trump stated in yet another post.
The president personally attacked Bertrand, calling for her dismissal and accusing her of "trying to ruin our Patriot Pilots by harming their reputation when, in reality, they performed a GREAT job and hit "pay dirt" — TOTAL OBLITERATION!"
Did CNN defend Bertrand?
On Wednesday, CNN responded by asserting in a statement that the organization fully supports Bertrand's journalism and that of her colleagues.
CNN backed up Bertrand's reporting, saying it was true and good for the public, as tensions rose between Trump and the media. CNN admitted that the results were preliminary.
'We do not believe it reasonable to criticize CNN reporters for accurately reporting the existence of the assessment and accurately characterizing its findings, which are in the public interest,' stated CNN's communications section, reported the Daily Beast.

In recent years, President Donald Trump has compared other perceived adversaries to dogs, including former FBI Director James B. Comey, former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, and even his own Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was formerly a competitor for the GOP's 2016 presidential candidacy.
What leaked report angered Donald Trump?
The Pentagon's intelligence branch, the Defense Intelligence Agency, provided the preliminary analysis, which also purportedly discovered that while the attack did not destroy Iran's underground structures, it did block access to two of its three primary nuclear sites.
The news was first rejected by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who said it was leaked by a "low level loser" to discredit the president.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has opened a probe into the leak, claimed it denigrated the efforts of US military combatants, while Rubio also voiced his opinion, calling it the work of "professional stabbers."
Meanwhile, Trump claimed that the report's conclusions were "not complete" and that additional data will provide a more accurate picture of the battle damage sustained over the weekend.

Farmers plan chakka jam on July 1 against Shaktipeeth
Kolhapur: Farmers' leader Raju Shetti on Thursday claimed those opposing the Shaktipeeth highway project are being treated more harshly than 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab, as even Kasab was allowed to present his case, provided a lawyer, and given 'biryani', but farmers' rtights are being disregarded. Shetti, speaking in Dharashiv on Thursday, said govt is issuing notices and conducting land surveys without farmers' consent, using police force to do so. "CM Devendra Fadnavis says there is no opposition to the Shaktipeeth Highway. If that is the case, then why do the administrative officials need to visit farmlands for land surveys with a heavy police force? Are the farmers Veerappan? A highway can't be built without land mapping. We won't allow the survey to take place. If they try to survey the land with the help of drones, then farmers very well know how to use 'gophan (slingshot)'. Maintaining law and order is govt's duty; we farmers won't be responsible if a law and order situation arises." On Thursday evening, an online meeting of farmers and public representatives opposing the Shaktipeeth Highway took place. The meeting resulted in a unanimous decision to intensify the chakka jam protest on July 1. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The anime RPG everyone's talking about is finally free!

Three or four different options will be put forward. Where there is opposition, a different alignment will be made, and the highway will be constructed."

Dubai, Abu Dhabi remain calm, thrive amid Iran-Israel tensions
The United Arab Emirates has managed to thrive during global instability, drawing capital during the Arab Spring, opening up quickly during the pandemic and attracting Russian money after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. But the Iran-Israel confrontation, which involved the US, poses one of the most stringent tests yet to the country's neutral and open-for-business stance. By Tuesday morning, just hours after Iran hit a US base in nearby Qatar and the UAE briefly closed its airspace, it was already business as usual in the financial centers of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. An executive at one of Abu Dhabi's wealth funds said it was proceeding as planned with deals and investments, even encouraging foreign executives to visit for meetings. In Dubai, bankers were quick to relay optimism that the UAE would sidestep any major fallout. But while a ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump appears to be holding, some executives acknowledge an undercurrent of nervousness because the geopolitical risks of the Middle East have come so sharply to the fore. The stakes for the global financial community are particularly high in the UAE, which has attracted international billionaires looking to safeguard their wealth as well as Wall Street banks and hedge funds looking to expand. Abu Dhabi has been on a dealmaking spree with its $1.7 trillion sovereign wealth pile. Meanwhile, Dubai's property prices have surged 70% over four years propelled by buyers from around the world. 'I think the current situation is contained. But what happened is significant — it's a signal that no action is off-limits anymore,' said Hussein Nasser-Eddin, chief executive of Dubai-based security services provider Crownox, referring to the attack in Qatar, which like the UAE is a long-time ally of the US. Nasser-Eddin said his firm — which provides travel security, protective and risk advisory services — has seen a rise in contingency planning requests in the Gulf in the last couple days. Companies have asked for details of Crownox's cross-border capabilities, essentially wanting to know if it could 'save the day' if things went wrong, he said. Even such lingering concerns haven't been enough to deter those investing or living in the UAE. More than a dozen bankers, hedge fund and sovereign wealth fund executives interviewed by Bloomberg News said they haven't seen signs of capital flight or firms considering a pullback. They asked not be named because they weren't authorized to speak to the media. UAE stocks, which sank at the outbreak of the Israeli strikes on Iran, have not just recouped those losses but scaled new highs in tandem with US stocks. Dubai's equity benchmark is trading almost 3% higher than before the conflict, reaching the highest level since the 2008 global financial crisis. Abu Dhabi's index has added more than 1% and is at the highest since January. Both indexes are rising faster than the global benchmark MSCI ACWI. 'I believe that the safe-haven status will continue, the macro story remains robust and the reform program compelling. We continue to expect capital and population inflows in the medium-term,' Monica Malik, chief economist at Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank PJSC, said about the UAE. 'The fact that there were no economic disruptions and the ceasefire are positive.' Historically, Dubai has benefitted from periods of unrest not just regionally but elsewhere too. Most recently, after the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, some Russians bought Dubai real estate. Property prices have been shooting up since the pandemic. Still, the emirate's population is largely made of expatriates and any pullback from them would also dent the housing market, which makes up more than a third of the city's gross domestic product. 'We had a period of 48 hours where buyers were reluctant to pull the trigger,' said Myles Bush, chairman of brokerage Phoenix Homes. 'However, now it's business as usual and buyer confidence has bounced back.' While market sentiment hasn't been affected so far, a resumption of hostilities may shake confidence, said Anna Kirichenko, a property broker who has worked in Dubai since 2007. There is also the potential for other economic fallout. Despite airspace closures ending and the ceasefire, several global airlines are still avoiding Dubai to ensure the safety of crew and passengers amid geopolitical tensions. Among them are Singapore Airlines, Air India Ltd. and United Airlines Holdings Inc. The aviation sector supported 27% of Dubai's GDP in 2023, according to a report by Emirates, contributing nearly $40 billion to the city's economy. Dubai and Abu Dhabi have in recent years attracted expatriates and financial firms partly because of the UAE's easy visa policies, low taxes and convenient time zone between East and West. The regulator for Dubai's financial center said it had contacted a number of firms, who reported normal business activity. A management consultant said it would take a far more devastating strike — such as one on a population center — to derail the UAE's haven status and its internationalization drive. IPO bankers in the UAE have said that their post-summer pipeline hasn't been affected by the geopolitical turmoil. Even in nearby Doha, the capital of Qatar, one banker said work had resumed as if the attack on the US base had never taken place. To be sure, plenty of risks remain. Even after the truce was announced, there appeared to be early breaches by both sides that caused Trump to issue angry warnings. US intelligence findings have also shown that American air strikes had only a limited impact on Iran's nuclear program, while Trump has maintained the sites were completely destroyed. Still, executives were reassured because Iran appeared to have provided warnings before the attack and the UAE — which also houses US military personnel — wasn't targeted. The chain of events suggests that officials in the Gulf had been able to manage the crisis from behind the scenes, one Dubai-based portfolio manager said. Ken Moelis, the veteran Wall Street dealmaker with close ties to the Middle East, characterized turbulence in the region as an opportunity for one of the most optimistic changes in the Gulf for a long time. He highlighted opportunities such as the potential impact of unlocking Iranian oil reserves and opening up the country's labor market, assuming sanctions are lifted. 'All I hear about is what if the peace doesn't hold,' Moelis said in an interview on Bloomberg Television Wednesday. 'I haven't heard one person say, 'What if the 90 million population of highly educated motivated Iranians come into the market?''

Damaged unit at Iran's South Pars refinery resumes operations: Report
Iran is the world's third largest gas producer after the United States and Russia Reuters A damaged unit of the South Pars refinery's Phase 14, which was hit by Israel in its first strike on Iran's oil and gas sector, has returned to operation, the Iranian state-run agency Nour News reported on Thursday. South Pars, the world's biggest gas field, is located offshore in Iran's southern Bushehr province and is responsible for the lion's share of the country's gas production. Iran is the world's third largest gas producer after the United States and Russia. Gas production was not halted and the damaged unit was repaired in about 10 days, the agency added. On June 14, the Israeli strike caused a fire, which has been extinguished, in one of the four units of Phase 14. Israel launched an air offensive against Iran on June 13 killing commanders and scientists and bombing nuclear sites, saying it wanted to stop Tehran building an atomic weapon. After a 12-day air war between Israel and Iran, US President Donald Trump announced on Monday a ceasefire between them.
