[62769] The storm is approaching? Donald Trump in worrying posts about Iran


US President Donald Trump posted a series of messages on the social network Truth Social, in which he hinted at possible action against Iran and described the current situation as 'the calm before the storm'.

Increasing tension: Trump threatens Iran

In a series of posts that caused a stir online, US President Donald Trump disseminated forceful messages directed at Iran on May 16, 2026. In various Telegram channels, including اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری and العربیه فارسی, it was reported that President Trump used the phrase "this was the calm before the storm" in the context of tensions with Tehran. The channel آخرین خبر, identified with a critical line towards the American administration, called the remarks "verbal bravado" from the President.

In addition to the texts, IRNA News Agency reported that Trump posted a graphic video on Truth Social showing an attack by an American vessel against an unmanned aerial vehicle. In the video, Trump is seen saying: "Alright, we see it intentionally... fire!". These contents come against the backdrop of additional posts published by اخبار فوری ایران و آمریکا™, in which Trump was quoted threatening: "If you hurt Americans... we will find you and eliminate you".

the messages sparked numerous reactions on social media, with channels identified with political support for Tehran, such as مقاومت اسلامی انصارالله یمن, highlighting reports that Trump is "mocking Joe Biden again". At the same time, it was reported that a picture of Trump alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping was published, a step that was interpreted by news channels as part of the President's media conduct.

The reports reflect high alertness in local Iranian news channels, as channels like خبر فوری جنگ ایران and آخرین خبر لرستان continue to follow Trump's words as an indication of a possible military escalation.
