FCC chair threatens networks’ licenses after Trump complains about Iran coverage

The controversy dovetails with Trump’s broader push to portray the U.S. as having “militarily, economically” defeated Iran while urging world powers to secure shipping lanes, even as the U.S. embassy in Baghdad urges Americans to leave Iraq.
