Iran dismisses Trump AI post on Kharg strike; US-Iran hostilities resume

Iran called 'laughable' a Truth Social AI-generated post by President Trump claiming Kharg Island oil hub is 'being blown to smithereens,' as US attacks and Iranian retaliatory strikes resume. The post appears to be propaganda rather than a confirmed operational report, but it signals renewed escalation rhetoric. The status of Kharg Island—critical to Iranian oil exports—remains unverified, and the incident marks a return to active hostilities after a period of relative quiet.
