WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump posted a two-panel comparison graphic that redraws the map of Iran, labeling the images “BEFORE” and “AFTER.”

The top “BEFORE” panel shows a regional map with Iran filled in solid orange in its approximate real shape. The bottom “AFTER” panel redraws that same landmass into the silhouette of a human face with flowing hair. Both panels carry identical country and water labels, including Oman, the United Arab Emirates,Qatar,Bahrain,Kuwait,Saudi Arabia, Iran,Iraq, Jordan,Israel,Syria,Turkey and Cyprus, along with the Persian Gulf, the Caspian Sea, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.

This is Trump’s 8th message released today, and the last post was 7 minutes ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 18 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 69 of his 613 posts over the last 30 days classified as image-only posts.

The graphic carries no caption text beyond the map labels, and it lists no source credit within the frame. The post consists solely of the image, with no accompanying written commentary from Trump.
