Just hours after announcing a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, US President Donald Trump posted a parody song titled “Bomb Iran”. The video, shared on Trump’s Truth Social account, featured footage of B-2 bombers set to the 1980 parody track by Vince Vance & the Valiants, which includes the lyric: “Ol’ Uncle Sam’s getting pretty hot, time to turn Iran into a parking lot.”
This came after, Iranian state TV released a bizarre Lego-style animation showing a cartoon Trump eating a cheeseburger while speaking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The animation ended with the message: “We control the game.”
A fragile ceasefire
The post came after a fragile ceasefire took effect following nearly two weeks of intense conflict between Israel and Iran. Trump had earlier claimed that US strikes had “completely destroyed” Iran’s nuclear programme. “THE NUCLEAR SITES IN IRAN ARE COMPLETELY DESTROYED!” he posted online, dismissing a classified US intelligence assessment that found the bombing campaign had only set back Tehran’s programme by a few months.
The White House stood by Trump’s claims, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt calling the leaked report “flat-out wrong” and denouncing it as an effort to “discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission.”
The conflict saw Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian military and nuclear facilities, while Iran launched missile attacks in retaliation. At least 610 civilians were killed in Iran, according to its health ministry, while Israel reported 28 deaths. US forces joined the fray with bunker-buster bombs on key Iranian nuclear sites, which Trump declared had neutralised the threat.
However, intelligence sources cited by CNN and the Associated Press said centrifuges remained functional and enriched uranium stockpiles had likely been relocated before the strikes. Despite the public statements by Trump and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth—who insisted the bombs “obliterated Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons”—analysts believe much of Iran’s underground nuclear infrastructure survived.
Trump appeared frustrated at the shaky start to the ceasefire. “We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f—- they’re doing,” he said. Hours later, he claimed the truce had been salvaged, telling reporters that Israeli warplanes would “turn around and head home” and that “nobody will be hurt.”
