Trump in a combative mood: publishes AI images and threatens Iran - 'Attack on Kharg Island'

US President Donald Trump published a series of threatening AI images on Truth Social against Iran, including a depiction of an attack on Kharg Island. The posts come after 13 nights of mutual strikes and a ceasefire, indicating a combative mood. Meanwhile, an oil tanker hit a mine in the Strait of Hormuz, and reactions were reported to a Pakistani-Qatari proposal to resume talks.

US President Donald Trump today (Sunday) published on the social network 'Truth' a series of images generated by artificial intelligence, containing threatening and combative messages toward Iran. One image under the title 'Attack on Kharg' shows aircraft and naval vessels bombing Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf, a significant center of Iran's oil industry. Another image shows Trump on the deck of a ship with the US flag and an Iranian flag on the deck, captioned: 'This is our oil tanker now!' Another image shows an Iranian ship on fire with the caption 'No more engines' and an addition 'Give the enemy nightmares'. The publications come after 13 consecutive nights of strikes between the US and Iran, following which both sides stopped mutual attacks and conciliatory messages were heard. However, the images indicate that the military option is still on the table. An Iranian military spokesman said that Iran stopped its attacks after the US stopped in the last two nights, and that the US lacks a clear strategy. About an hour later, it was reported that an oil tanker that deviated from its course in the Strait of Hormuz hit a naval mine and exploded. The US announced that the naval blockade on Iran continues. According to reports, Iran and the US have responded to a Pakistani-Qatari proposal to resume talks, with Iran confirming it is ready to continue negotiations in Geneva, Doha, or Islamabad.
