Trump posts AI video of Iran’s Kharg Island being ‘blown to smithereens’ as tensions escalate

US President Donald Trump has shared an AI video of Iran’s Kharg Island being destroyed in an odd post to Truth Social.

The video displays Kharg Island on fire, with President Trump writing, “Kharg Island being blown to smithereens”.

Trump’s post follows America’s first strikes on Iran in nearly a month, reportedly targeting the regime’s launchers.

The strikes followed reports that Iran was allegedly laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
