A report by CBS investigative journalist Michael Kaplan alleges that President Donald Trump did not meet with 14 U.S.soldiers injured during the conflict in Iran while visiting Walter Reed National Military Medical Center earlier this week.According to Kaplan, the information came from both a military official and the family of one of the wounded soldiers.

The report states that although Trump was present at the hospital for what the White House described as a six-month medical checkup, officials repeatedly declined to confirm whether he personally visited service members injured during the Iran military campaign.The article notes that Trump did spend time with other U.S.service members during the visit, but the absence of meetings with soldiers wounded in the conflict has generated criticism and renewed debate over the administration’s handling of military personnel and veterans.

The report frames the issue within the broader controversy surrounding the Iran conflict, which the article characterizes as a war initiated by Trump.

Raw Story also connected the report to wider political criticism facing the president, including commentary about his leadership, Memorial Day appearances, and reactions from veterans.

The article relies heavily on Kaplan’s reporting and statements from unnamed sources, while noting that the White House did not directly answer questions about whether Trump met the injured troops.No official explanation was provided for why the reported meetings did not take place.
