CNN defended its reporting, saying the statement came from "specific official Iranian spokespeople who are known to us."

Legal experts and the FCC's lone Democratic commissioner, Anna Gomez, said Carr's threats against broadcasters were hollow, noting the FCC has not denied a license renewal in decades and that cable networks such as CNN are not licensed by the FCC.

The New York Times posted a similarly worded item on its live blog citing Iran's National Security Council. It said: "Iran's National Security Council said in a statement that Iran had been victorious" and "the United States had accepted all of Iran's 10-point peace plan."
