Former US President Donald Trump sparked a stir on social media after posting messages with a military nature and insinuations directed at Iran.

Donald Trump raises the level of tension with Iran

The defense establishment and the media scene have been in an uproar over the past day following a series of posts by former President Donald Trump. According to reports on social media, Trump published a post on the Truth Social network that included an image of a military nature along with the threatening caption: "It was the calm before the storm."

Hadashot 360 noted that the post sparked a lively discussion online, with the central interpretation being that these are threatening messages against Iran, as reported in Israel News | Without Censorship. Channels identified with support for the right and Trump, such as Israel News IL, followed every tweet or update from the former president with anticipation.

At the same time, additional reports from Barak Betesh and Security Flash 24/7 emphasized that this is a series of late-night posts, leading to assessments that Trump is seeking to signal a more aggressive foreign policy. Israel News Without Censorship concluded that the former president is acting decisively to convey the message to Tehran.

These messages add to the existing regional tension, and as of now, no official clarification has been provided by Trump regarding the nature of the "storm" he is referring to.
