US President Donald Trump posted a series of AI-generated images depicting dramatic military strikes against Iran, as tensions over the fragile Middle East ceasefire continued to escalate.
The images, uploaded to Trump’s Truth Social account, portrayed fictional combat scenes involving American military forces targeting Iranian assets. One image showed a US warship blasting an aircraft marked with the Iranian flag using what appeared to be a high-powered laser weapon. The aircraft is shown exploding midair alongside Trump’s caption, “Lasers: Bing, Bing, GONE!!!”
Another digitally created image focused on naval warfare. It depicted a US drone flying above a group of Iranian “fast boats” moments before synchronised explosions tear through the vessels. Trump accompanied the post with the message, “BYE BYE, ‘FAST BOATS”.
