Trump shared a screenshot from commentator Eyal Yakoby declaring breaking news of strikes against Iran on July 7, 2026.
WHITE HOUSE — Donald Trump signaled military action against Iran by mentioning the source (see truthsocial) on a Truth Social post on July 7, 2026 at 9:45 PM EST.
Here is the full post on [truthsocial]: “Eyal Yakoby ✔ @EYakoby BREAKING: Massive strikes against Iran. Subscribe”
The post consisted of a screenshot from the verified account of Eyal Yakoby on X, formerly Twitter, showing a brief message that read “BREAKING: Massive strikes against Iran.” The screenshot included no additional sourcing, attribution, or details about the nature, scope, or origin of the strikes. Trump offered no commentary of his own beyond sharing the image.
Yakoby is an Israeli-American dual citizen who has built a significant social media following as a commentator on Middle East affairs (see jpost.com). He previously served as an Arabic-language spokesperson for the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office and is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School (see reversecanarymission.org). He currently works as an associate consultant at Bain & Company and is an incoming master’s student at MIT Sloan School of Management (see reversecanarymission.org).

The post did not specify whether the strikes were carried out by the United States, Israel, or a coalition, nor did it identify targets or confirm casualties. No official statement from the Pentagon, the State Department, or the Israeli Defense Forces accompanied the post at the time of publication.
Trump has made Iran a recurring subject on Truth Social. In the last 30 days, 80 of 557 Trump posts addressed the topic of foreign policy, reflecting sustained attention to international military and diplomatic matters.
The lack of detail in the original post leaves central questions unanswered, including which forces executed the strikes, what targets were hit, and what diplomatic or military consequences may follow. Readers should watch for official government statements and independent confirmation of the reported strikes in the hours ahead.
