President Trump is getting criticized for sharing a music video featuring the 1980 song "Bomb Iran," a parody of the song "Barbara Ann."

President Donald Trump is facing harsh criticism after he shared a music video featuring the 1980 song "Bomb Iran"—a parody of The Regents song "Barbara Ann" that is best known for being covered by the Beach Boys—amid a ceasefire between Israel and Iran that could further inflame tensions in the Middle East.

The controversial parody song by Vince Vance & the Valiants plays over footage of B-2 stealth bombers, the same aircraft used to drop 14 GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs on Iranian nuclear facilities, including the Fordow enrichment plant, Natanz complex, and Isfahan site.


The lyrics, widely condemned as inflammatory, include lines such as “bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran,” and “went to a mosque, gonna throw some rocks.” They also echo Trump’s threats against Iran’s Supreme Leader, saying “tell the Ayatollah: gonna put you in a box” and threatening to “turn Iran into a parking lot.”

Originally written in reaction to the 1979–1981 Iran hostage crisis—when Iranian militants seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and held 66 Americans for 444 days—the song channels the anger and frustration many Americans felt at the time. The crisis, which paralyzed Jimmy Carter’s presidency and underscored perceptions of American weakness, played a significant role in Ronald Reagan’s 1980 election victory.

You can see the video below.

Many have condemned Trump for sharing the video and citing concerns it—along with his other actions—could compromise national security.


The White House has not issued a statement on the video or on Trump's decision to share it.

Ironically, Trump posted the video shortly after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

Trump told reporters that the two countries "have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f**k they're doing"—which sounds like a classic case of projection.

MAGA Furious After GOP Rep. Mocks Party's Texas Gerrymandering Hypocrisy With Brutal Meme

Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie was criticized by his party's MAGA contingent after he shared a meme mocking the GOP for attacking Texas Democrats for fleeing the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map.

Under the newly proposed map, Republicans would gain five additional seats after the 2026 midterm elections—making it significantly more difficult for Democrats to reclaim the majority and potentially blunt the president’s legislative priorities.

Woman Goes Viral After Cramming Carry-On Luggage Into Size Checker To Prove It Fits

Let's be honest: traveling, and particularly flying, is very expensive these days, and it's important to save money wherever you can. A key way to save money is to book a cheaper class on the flight, and to only take a carry-on, rather than checking a bag, if you're able to.

TikToker @summermken_official shared a video of a woman who was willing to commit to that while in Paris. She approached a size-checking station for Vueling Airlines with a sign that read, "Does your cabin luggage fit here?" It was a metal frame in the shape of a rectangle, emulating the largest size that a piece of carry-on luggage could be.

Pilot Reveals What Actually Happens If You Don't Switch Your Phone To Airplane Mode

If you've ever taken a flight, you might have wondered what the big deal was about switching your phone to "airplane mode" before the airplane took off—and if you didn't, if you could really be responsible for that giant, metal bird falling out of the sky.

According to pilot and TikToker @pilotperch, you indeed will not cause the airplane to fall out of the sky, or for the machinery of the aircraft to warp and malfunction, but your phone not being in airplane mode could still cause problems for the pilot, their copilot, and their dispatch team on the ground.
