Growing tension: Trump posts visual deterrence messages against Iran

This past weekend, US President Donald Trump posted a series of graphic content on the social network "Truth Social," sparking widespread reactions regarding the military tension with Iran. According to reports on the Vahid Online channel, Trump shared an image showing him on the deck of a warship in a stormy environment, surrounded by vessels bearing the flag of the Islamic Republic, under the caption: "It was the calm before the storm."

Iran International channel, known for its critical line against the Tehran regime, elaborated on the posts and noted that President Trump also distributed animations illustrating an active military attack. In one of the videos, the President is seen giving an order to a US warship to open fire on an aircraft marked with an Iranian flag, declaring: "Okay, we have it in our sights. Fire!".

the publications come against the backdrop of ongoing reports regarding assessments of the possibility of renewed attacks by the US and Israel against targets of the Islamic Republic. According to Iran International, the media presented the animations as part of the threatening tone adopted by the US administration toward Tehran, where in one of the animations Trump is heard saying: "It's on our target list, fire!".

The reports were also covered by other channels such as پیام ایران, which disseminated the existence of the animation showing the attack order. As of now, no official response has been received from Tehran regarding the graphic content in question, but the publications are igniting renewed discussions among regional commentators about the possibility of an imminent military escalation.
