President Trump posted more images on Truth Social from the overnight US attacks in southern Iran, according to his posts. The sharing follows the strikes reported earlier tonight, which targeted Iranian positions.
President Trump shared additional images from the US strikes on southern Iran on Truth Social early Thursday morning, according to the posts. The latest images follow a series of posts at 23:44 Jerusalem in which Trump first shared a photo of the strikes with a warning, then clarified that another photo was archival and unrelated to the current strikes, and then shared a known fake image, as The Zioneer reported.
The strikes themselves were first reported at 23:44 Jerusalem, with Iranian media reporting hits on the Chabahar port observation tower. Within minutes, reports detailed strikes on two docks, the maritime traffic control tower, and the airport control tower, with power cut in half the city. The Zioneer reported at 00:35 that US strikes targeted Iran overnight, with Iranian state media publishing images of damage. Trump shared footage of the Chabahar port strikes at 23:44. The reporting evolved from unverified footage to confirmed Iranian state media reports and US statements.
The strikes are part of an ongoing US campaign against Iran since June. As The Zioneer reported on June 28, Trump announced multiple waves of strikes on Iranian missile depots, radar sites, and drone storage facilities, warning that Iran would not continue to exist if ceasefire violations continued. On July 3, the US destroyed new Iranian radar systems, according to Trump.
The authenticity of the latest images shared by Trump has not been independently verified. The earlier incident of sharing a known fake image raises questions about the credibility of the president's social media posts regarding the strikes.
