Trump Signals Renewed Military Strikes on Iran Amid Rising Tensions

On July 28, 2026, US President Donald Trump posted a series of AI-generated images on the social media platform Truth, depicting fighter jets possibly en route to Iran and Iranian ships sunk at sea. In his posts, Trump criticized his predecessors, Joe Biden and Barack Obama, accusing them of failing to use force against the Iranian regime as he now intends to do. Another AI-generated image shared by Trump showed a graph illustrating a significant decline in the Iranian currency's value since he took office.

According to reports from CNN and CBS, the United States is preparing to resume military strikes against Iran as early as the upcoming weekend, following unsuccessful diplomatic efforts and an escalation in Trump's rhetoric. The scope and targets of the planned attacks have not been finalized but may include missile sites and energy infrastructure.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump has authorized a new round of strikes expected to last several days. In response, a senior Iranian security official, Ali Abdollahi, commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters, warned that Iran would retaliate by targeting vital infrastructure in Israel and US energy facilities in the region. Abdollahi accused the US of escalating regional conflict and urged Muslim countries to reconsider cooperation with America, threatening that any nation acting as a shield for the US would be engulfed in the flames of war.
