- Trump did not visit Iran war wounded at Walter Reed — CBS reported that during Trump's Tuesday visit to Walter Reed Army Medical Center for a six-month checkup, he met with service members but did not visit any of the 14 troops injured in the Iran war ("Operation Epic Fury") who were also recovering at the hospital. The White House repeatedly declined to confirm whether the president saw soldiers injured in the conflict he initiated. The report notes Trump's previous dismissal of wounded service members, including his 2020 characterization of Iranian airstrike injuries as "headaches" not "very serious," and a CBS investigation finding that dozens of soldiers with brain injuries were denied the Purple Heart to downplay wounds.
