Hi there,

We need independent media more than ever. When we cover war and peace, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers. When we cover the climate catastrophe, we’re not brought to you by the oil, gas and coal companies. When we cover inequality, we’re not brought to you by the banks and other financial institutions. We’re brought to you by you, the listener, the reader and the viewer. If you want Democracy Now! to keep bringing you the stories that matter most, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Trump Blasts U.S. Media Outlets, Saying They Would Portray Iran Surrender as a “Masterful and Brilliant Victory” Over the U.S.

HeadlineMay 27, 2026

President Trump on Tuesday blasted U.S. media outlets, saying on Truth Social that if Iran surrendered, they would portray it as a “masterful and brilliant victory over the United States.” It comes as Iranian officials signal that negotiations to reach a ceasefire deal are ongoing. Tehran’s top negotiator, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran’s parliament, returned from Qatar Tuesday. According to Iranian officials, Ghalibaf’s visit to Qatar aimed to secure the release of $24 billion, a quarter of Iranian funds frozen abroad. This comes as Iranian authorities partially restored internet access after a nationwide blackout that lasted for nearly three months.
