Trump posts images mimicking an attack on Iran's Kharg Island

US President Donald Trump posted a series of AI-generated images on his social media platform, Truth Social, depicting a US attack on Iran’s Kharg Island oil facilities. The images show fighter jets launching a fierce aerial assault on what appears to be the island’s strategic oil export terminal in the Persian Gulf, alongside the seizure of an oil tanker.

The post comes amid escalating rhetoric, threats of military action, and economic pressure on Tehran, coinciding with stalled negotiations.

Media outlets noted that this digital simulation reflects Trump’s style of sending contradictory messages and waging psychological warfare to pressure adversaries and keep them in a state of uncertainty.
