30 viral memes about the Iran bombing that sum up the online panic and nihilism
With the news that President Donald Trump bombed Iran, people on the internet are reacting the best way they know how: through memes.
Trump ordered the bombing of the three largest nuclear facilities in Iran on Saturday, June 21. The mission was codenamed "Operation Midnight Hammer." In a press conference after the attacks, he said, "Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier."
This major military move shocked the internet, with people calling Trump out for being a hypocrite after one of his old tweets about President Obama resurfaced. In it, he wrote that the then-president would opt to attack Iran due to a lack of skill and inability to negotiate. People on X started replying to the tweet, asking whether he remembered it and if he still felt that way.
Meme reactions have ranged from references to Love Island, which is currently airing, to preparing for World War III, and wishing that we weren't living through major world events. Other memes poked fun at Trump's current political agenda and how it looks eerily similar to President Bush's circa the early 2000s.
