What happened
President Donald Trump posted a 10-second AI-generated video on Truth Social showing Iran’s Kharg Island oil export terminal being “blown to smithereens,” shortly after U.S. airstrikes against an Iranian military site. U.S. officials had not confirmed any strike on Kharg Island, and no evidence emerged that the energy hub was attacked. An Iranian official dismissed the post as “laughable,” while the White House and Defense Department did not immediately answer requests for details. Vice President JD Vance said Trump was sending Tehran a message, not announcing military action.
