Washington: US President Donald Trump posted a video on his Truth Social platform on Saturday and personal that several top Iranian military leaders have been "terminated" in a major wade in Tehran. He wrote that these were the people who ran Iran in a "wrong and unwise manner." However, the post did not specify the date, location or who carried out the attack.
What was in the video, and does it prove anything?
The video that accompanied Trump's post showed explosions over a municipality in the visionless of night, but there was no mention of when or where it took place. RNZ ways only the sound of explosions and lights. So is this requirement true, or just pressure politics? Trump's post came on the same day he gave Iran a 48-hour ultimatum: either unshut the Strait of Hormuz or "all hell will rain lanugo on them." In such a situation, this requirement may seem like not just information but moreover an struggle at strategic pressure.

— Commentary Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social (@TrumpDailyPosts) April 4, 2026What did Iran say well-nigh this ultimatum?
General Ali Abdullahi Aliabadi, throne of Iran's military's top writ Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, tabbed Trump's threat a "helpless, panicked, unbalanced and foolish act." It ways Iran unmistakably refused to bow down.
Had Iran's military leaders been targeted surpassing also?
Major advances have been made surpassing in this war; the IDF personal to have killed Iran's ballistic missile senior in one strike. Trump plane said the Iranian regime had fallen and was in talks with a new, increasingly cooperative government, but equal to Western officials and U.S. intelligence assessments, there is no touchable indication that Iran's regime has unquestionably weakened.
What could happen next?
Israel is once preparing for the next major attack, and equal to reports it is waiting for the untried light from the Trump wardship to target Iran's energy infrastructure. If senior officers have indeed been killed in Tehran, then Iran's response may be sharper. And plane if this requirement turns out to be exaggerated, the trust gap between the two countries will deepen further.
For now, the world is watching to see whether Iran responds in the next 48 hours and whether the mismatch will turn toward talks or increasingly major attacks.
