The posts came alongside a stern warning from Trump, who said Iran was running out of time to move towards a peace agreement. “Time is of the essence,” Trump wrote, warning Tehran that “there won’t be anything left” if it failed to act quickly.
AI Posts Trigger Row
Trump reportedly shared more than 20 AI-generated images within a few hours, sparking fresh controversy online. One of the most discussed visuals showed a map of Iran covered with the American flag and surrounded by arrows pointing towards the country, fuelling speculation over a possible military escalation.
Other images depicted US drones targeting Iranian fast boats, while one post carried the caption: “BYE BYE, Fast boats”. A separate video appeared to show an American warship firing at an Iranian aircraft. Trump was also seen in one clip tapping a table and saying, “Fire, boom.”
In another AI-generated image captioned “Space Force”, Trump appeared among satellites in space, while a separate visual showed him pressing spacecraft control buttons against a backdrop of explosions and missile strikes.

Oil Route Under Pressure
The latest posts come amid growing tensions between Washington and Tehran following continued military escalation in the Middle East. Trump recently warned Iran that it must move quickly towards a peace deal or face severe consequences.
The conflict has also intensified concerns over the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most strategically important oil shipping routes. Nearly 20 per cent of global oil exports pass through the narrow waterway, and fears of disruption have already pushed global energy prices higher.
Meanwhile, the crisis has spread beyond Iran, with fresh violence reported between Israel and Lebanon. Iran-backed Hezbollah has indicated that a broader peace agreement may not be possible without a permanent ceasefire in Lebanon, further complicating diplomatic efforts in the region.
