FCC Chair Warns US Broadcasters Over Iran War Coverage Amid Media Criticism

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr warned US broadcasters they risk losing licenses if they air misleading or distorted coverage of the Iran conflict, urging them to correct course before license renewals. This follows President Donald Trump's criticism of media reports on US refuelling planes damaged in an Iranian strike, which he called misleading. The warning has drawn criticism from Democrats and free-speech advocates, who view it as a threat to press freedom and censorship.
