WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald Trump has amplified an unverified social-media claim of massive strikes against Iran on truthsocial.

Here is the full post on truthsocial: “Eyal Yakoby ✔ @EYakoby BREAKING: Massive strikes against Iran. Subscribe”, on Truth Social on July 7, 2026 at 9:45 PM EST.

The post reproduces a message from Eyal Yakoby, an Israeli-American social-media influencer and activist, who wrote “BREAKING: Massive strikes against Iran.” The image shows a verified X account and a “Subscribe” button, but it carries no timestamp, location, or supporting evidence. The claim is a single-line assertion from an individual account and remains unconfirmed pending independent verification.

Yakoby has become a central figure in polarized debates over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and campus antisemitism (see reversecanarymission.org). He has described himself as an Israeli reservist and worked as an associate consultant at a major management-consulting firm, and profiles note his ties to the University of Pennsylvania and MIT Sloan (see reversecanarymission.org). His posts have drawn both support and sharp criticism, with some accounts accusing him of misrepresenting images in past viral episodes (see reversecanarymission.org).

Additional coverage of Yakoby and the surrounding regional tensions has appeared across outlets (see jpost.com) and other online sources (see washingtonsignal.com). Readers seeking the underlying discussion may find related material on video and community platforms (see youtube.com).

In the last 30 days, 85 of 550 Trump posts were on the topic “Foreign Policy,” according to Zenger analysis.
