President Trump shared video footage from the US strikes in Iran on his X (formerly Twitter) account early Thursday morning, according to reports. The posting is the latest in a series of social media posts about the military campaign, and marks a shift from Truth Social, where he had previously shared images.
The sharing follows a series of posts on Truth Social on Wednesday night, all at 23:44 Jerusalem. Trump first shared footage of the strikes, then warned of a "much worse" response if attacks resume. He subsequently posted an old photograph, which he clarified was archival, and later shared a known fake image. At 01:11 Jerusalem, he shared additional images from the strikes, as The Zioneer reported.
The US strikes targeted the port of Chabahar in southern Iran. According to Iranian reports cited by The Zioneer, two piers and the maritime traffic control tower were struck, and power was cut in half the city. The strikes were described as retaliation for an attack on Iranian ships the previous day, as Trump stated in his earlier post.
The authenticity of the video footage shared by Trump has not been independently verified. It remains unclear whether the video is from the current strikes or archival material, given Trump's earlier sharing of a known fake image and an old photo.
