President Trump posted an AI-generated video Sunday evening of what he said was Iran’s oil export hub of Kharg Island being “blown to smithereens” hours after the first American airstrikes targeting the Islamic Republic since July.
Trump, 80, did not clarify that the 10-second clip on his Truth Social account was AI-generated and there was no evidence Monday morning that the island off Iran’s coast had been hit.
“Trump’s tweets are laughable and conditions in Kharg are calm and appropriate,” Hamid Bovard, chief executive of government-run National Iranian Oil Co., told semi-official Iranian outlet Nournews, adding that operations had not stopped and workers were busy repairing previous damage.
Earlier Sunday, US Central Command said its forces had struck rocket launchers on Iran’s Larak island, about 400 miles east of Kharg. Tehran responded by launching missiles at US sites in Jordan, which were intercepted.
Separately, the United Arab Emirates Defense Ministry said its military had “dealt with” an Iranian drone that was detected over its waters. There were no reports of damage.
