This cryptic declaration, reported by Saudi-based Asharq News, has set the stage for a potential escalation that could redefine the balance of power in the Middle East. But while the liberal media scrambles to downplay the threat or shift blame onto America, President Donald J. Trump stands firm, demonstrating the kind of unwavering leadership that has kept America safe.
In stark contrast to the weak-kneed appeasement favored by the left, Trump issued a bold ultimatum to the Iranian regime, demanding nothing short of “unconditional surrender” and labeling Ayatollah Khamenei “an easy target.” “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran,” Trump declared.
Good Night, Patriots!
A rumor that circulated online in mid-June 2025 claimed Iranian state TV announced, "Tonight, a great surprise will occur, one that the world will remember for centuries."
ReplyDeleteFor example, on June 17, an X user posted (archived), "BREAKING: Iranian State TV has said: 'Tonight, a great surprise will occur, one that the world will remember for centuries.'" The post received 12.4 million views, as of this writing.
However, searches of the wire services Agence France-Presse, The Associated Press and Reuters found no reports about this matter. Had Iranian state TV made such an announcement, news media outlets worldwide would have reported it as major breaking news. Very few outlets reported the alleged quote, and those that did provided no video or other evidence to support their claims.
This rumor possibly originated from an X post appearing on the account Tehran Updates (@TehranDefence) in the U.S. morning hours of June 17. The account displays a bio reading: "Live War updates / This account is not affiliated with any Government entity." According to a search of X, the post featured the earliest record of the text, "Tonight there will be a big surprise and the world will remember it for centuries."
The existence of this X post indicated the rumor Iranian state TV made the announcement was likely false. However, Snopes did not attach a fact-check rating to this story because we have not definitively established the truth about this matter.
