US EditionTrump posts video with ‘Bomb Iran’ song amid ceasefire
- On June 24, 2025, President Donald Trump posted a video on Truth Social showing B-2 stealth bombers dropping bombs on Iran set to the parody song 'Bomb Iran'.
- The post followed U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites earlier that week and preceded Trump's arrangement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran two days after the strikes.
- 'Bomb Iran' is a 1980 parody by Vince Vance & the Valiants of the 1965 Beach Boys' song 'Barbara Ann', historically resurfacing during U.S.-Iran tensions and the 1979-1981 hostage crisis.
- Trump declared the nuclear sites were "completely destroyed," though media cited intelligence indicating only temporary setbacks to Iran's nuclear program after weekend strikes.
- The video sparked criticism for its tone and timing amid the volatile ceasefire, highlighting persistent tensions and the political use of cultural references in the Iran conflict.
