From Daily Mail: CNN anchor Erin Burnett’s face dropped live on the air Monday night after she was informed that Iran and Israel agreed to a ceasefire.
Burnett, reporting on the conflict live from the United Arab Emirates, adamantly denied reports of a ceasefire at the start of her show Erin Burnett OutFront.
But her coverage was challenged when Political and Global Affairs analyst Barack Ravid appeared on the program to provide an update about the conflict.
Ravid reported that President Donald Trump had announced a ceasefire agreement.
“This ceasefire has been mediated and, according to President Trump, also achieved through mediation of Qatar and the United States,’ Ravid told a blank-faced Burnett.
“Iranian officials sent the message to the White House through the Qataris saying ‘we’re done. This is our response, we’re not going to do anything further,’” he said.
“The White House sent the message back through the Qataris: ‘We are not, if you are done, we are not going to retaliate and we want to talk. We want now to get a deal,’” Ravid reported.
“In the hours since then, there were talks between the US and Israel and Qatar and Iran to tie the final knots and agree on the final conditions of this ceasefire,” he said
Burnett‘S face dropped, but she wasn’t ready to let her report go.
“Alright, and obviously all very significant developments,” she said
She then turned to International Correspondent Paula Hancocks, “Paula, of course, all happening, as Barack is laying out, over several hours. We have not yet heard from the Israelis or the Iranians, literally what we are hearing actually is explosions in Tehran right now that Fred [Pleitgen] is reporting.”
WATCH:
CNN’s Erin Burnett had spent the first several minutes of her show adamantly denying that there’s a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Look at how disappointed she is when analyst Barak Ravid confirms that the ceasefire is real and that it was mediated in part by Doha.
