As the Iran war shows no sign of resolution, President Trump and the White House have intensified their attacks on the media, branding journalists "criminals," "traitors" and "antipatriots" for their coverage of the Middle East conflict. The rhetoric marks a significant escalation in the administration's pressure on the press. Critics warn the campaign represents a dangerous threat to freedom of the press in wartime.
