U.S. President Donald Trump posted a video via his social media platform Truth Social on Wednesday featuring B-2 stealth bombers and the 1980 song "Bomb Iran" in the aftermath of U.S. airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities—an escalation that comes as regional powers attempt to maintain a fragile ceasefire.
The clip, shared via Trump’s Truth Social account, included footage of B-2 aircraft while the controversial track by Vince Vance and The Valiants played in the background. The song includes lyrics such as “Bomb Iran, let’s take a stand,” and “Tell the Ayatollah, ‘we’re gonna put you in a box.’”
Trump’s post came days after he claimed that U.S. forces had conducted precision strikes on Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. In a statement on June 21, he said the attacks had “completely and totally destroyed” the facilities, though independent confirmation remains limited.
Israel launched airstrikes on several sites across Iran on June 13, including military and nuclear facilities, alleging Tehran was close to producing a nuclear bomb—a claim vehemently denied by Iran.
In response, Iran launched retaliatory missile and drone strikes. The U.S. joined the conflict by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday.
After 12 days of escalating aerial combat between the two regional arch-foes, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a cease-fire aimed at ending the conflict between Israel and Iran.
