CNN Under Fire After Freed Syrian Prisoner Revealed to Be Assad Regime Torturer, Musk Reacts

CNN is facing widespread criticism after a Syrian prisoner freed in a high-profile rescue effort led by journalist Clarissa Ward was revealed to be Salama Mohammad Salama, a notorious torturer for the Assad regime.

Initially identified as an innocent detainee named Adel Ghurbal, Salama was later unmasked through Facial recognition and eyewitness testimonies as a first lieutenant in Syrian Air Force Intelligence, known for war crimes and extortion.

Elon Musk fueled the backlash by mocking CNN on social media, amplifying public outrage.

The revelation has sparked global condemnation and questions about CNN’s vetting process.

Trump Tightens Syria Embrace LIFTS All Sanctions | ‘New Syria’ under Ex-Al Qaeda Operative Al-Sharaa

In a stunning foreign policy pivot, Donald Trump lifts decades-old U.S. sanctions on Syria following the fall of Bashar al-Assad. Backing the new regime under Ahmed al-Sharaa—an ex-Al-Nusra figure—Trump promises economic revival, regional stability, and a “fresh start” in U.S.-Syria ties. Over 500 sanctions are lifted as the White House redefines strategy in the Middle East. Critics warn of legitimizing a controversial figure.

Trump Lifts ‘Brytal’, ‘Crippling’ Syria Sanctions | Trump Unlocks Syria’s Economy After Years Of War

In a stunning reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy, former President Donald Trump has lifted key sanctions on Syria, ending years of crippling economic isolation. The move comes as part of Trump’s promised Middle East shift, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new interim government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a former rebel commander. The U.S. Treasury and State Department jointly announced a sweeping waiver of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, unlocking billions in potential investment and opening Syria’s oil, electricity, and financial sectors to international engagement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the relief vital to restoring basic services like water, energy, and sanitation. #SyriaSanctions #TrumpSyria #SanctionsLifted #TrumpMiddleEast #USForeignPolicy #SyriaNews #TrumpNews #DonaldTrump #SyriaCrisis #TrumpAdministration #AssadFall #Damascus #HTS #PostWarSyria #MiddleEastPolitics #CaesarAct #SanctionsRelief #USPolicyShift #BreakingNews #HistoricMove Also Read Lebanon and Syria Agree to Ceasefire Following Two Days of Border Clashes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lebanon-syria-ceasefire-agreement-border-clashes-011-4097569.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is New Syrian Regime Hunting Down And Killing Alawites Amid Escalating Sectarian Violence In Country? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-is-new-syrian-regime-hunting-down-and-killing-alawites-amid-escalating-sectarian-violence-in-cou-4090547.html?ref=DMDesc Syria On Boil: Over 1,000 Dead As Alawite Minority Targeted In 'Revenge Killings' By Current Regime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syria-on-boil-over-1-000-dead-as-alawite-minority-targeted-in-revenge-killings-by-current-regime-4090369.html?ref=DMDesc

Elon Musk Sets GOP On Fire: Backs ‘Loser’ Massie To Humiliate Trump In Revenge Power Play [Video]

Elon Musk Sets GOP On Fire: Backs ‘Loser’ Massie To Humiliate Trump In Revenge Power Play

A political firestorm has erupted after Elon Musk publicly declared his support for Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky who has drawn the ire of Donald Trump. Massie, known for opposing Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and calling out recent Iran strikes as unconstitutional, now finds himself targeted by Trump in a fiery GOP primary feud. Trump labeled Massie a “pathetic loser” and vowed to campaign hard against him. However, Musk’s financial support and vocal backing on X could change the game. Former Rep. Justin Amash and grassroots conservatives have also rallied behind Massie, portraying him as a principled fiscal conservative resisting bloated spending. With nearly $309K raised in just a week, Massie’s campaign gains momentum amid the MAGA-driven backlash. The battle now highlights a deeper rift in the Republican Party — between loyalty to Trump and commitment to independent conservative values. #ElonMusk #TrumpVsMassie #GOPCivilWar #ThomasMassie #BigBeautifulBill #RepublicanPrimary #TrumpAttack #FiscalConservative #GOP2025 #USPolitics #CongressNews #ElonX #MAGA #GOPDrama #Massie2025 #RepublicanFeud #JustinAmash #TrumpTruthSocial #PrimaryBattle #SwampWars ~HT.408~
