ALBAWABA - US President Donald Trump shared a controversial video on Truth Social showing B-2 bombers dropping bombs on nuclear sites in Tehran, accompanied by a song titled "Bomb Iran".

The video shared by the US President showcases previous US military operations, called "Midnight Hammer", against three Iranian nuclear facilities, such as the Fordo uranium enrichment facility and the Natanz complex, as well as other attacks in Isfahan city in Iran.

The video's accompanying song is a remix of Barbara Ann's hit, featuring provocative lyrics such as: "We'll tell the Supreme Leader, we'll put you in a box! Bomb Iran."

Trump's post on his Truth Social platform came a day after he announced a ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran to end a 12-day war that started on Friday 13.

Although Trump described the US strikes as successful, intelligence reports indicated that their impact on Iran's nuclear program was limited, with the impact only being delayed by a few months.

Various reactions emerged online, with people criticizing the president and calling this move "childish". An X user said: "Trump just posted a video with the song called "Bomb Iran" in the background. I remember a time when we had leaders like Obama, Biden, and Harris — decent, professional people who acted like real public servants. Now we have a child in the Oval."

Moreover, US Congress woman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote online: "Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me - I’m just a silly girl."

She added: "Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war. It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made."
