US President Donald Trump has shared an AI-generated image on his Truth Social account carrying the message “calm before the storm” as tensions surrounding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz continue to intensify.
The image, which quickly drew attention across social media and international news platforms, appeared alongside growing speculation over possible renewed military escalation involving Iran, Israel, and the United States.
Trump’s post comes at a sensitive moment in the Middle East, with reports of heightened military alertness and renewed concerns over disruptions to global oil supply routes through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most strategically important shipping corridors.
The AI-generated image did not directly reference military action, but the wording and timing of the post immediately triggered widespread reactions online, with many interpreting it as a warning or signal linked to the ongoing geopolitical crisis.
