The story relied on a single email to local law enforcement about one unverified tip. The alert itself labeled the intelligence “unverified,” yet ABC conveniently omitted that key detail to hype fear among Americans.

Leavitt made it crystal clear: No such threat from Iran to the homeland exists, and it never did.

This reckless reporting peddles false panic at a time when strong leadership is needed, not media-fueled hysteria. ABC owes the public a full retraction and an apology for misleading them.
