Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Monday to share a series of AI-generated images depicting American forces destroying Iranian military targets, captioning one post 'Lasers: Bing, Bing, GONE!!!' and another 'Bye Bye, Fast Boats' — imagery that the official White House account subsequently amplified to 2.1 million views on X.
The posts arrived at a particularly fraught moment. The ceasefire between the US and Iran hung by a thread on Monday after Trump panned Tehran's latest proposal as a 'piece of garbage' and met with military leaders to plot his next move. Speaking to reporters, Trump said: 'The ceasefire is on massive life support, where the doctor walks in and says, Sir, your loved one has approximately a one per cent chance of living.' He had also dismissed Tehran's latest negotiating proposal, calling it 'TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE' in a separate post on social media.
