US President Donald Trump has been spotted wearing a "Make Iran Great Again" hat, fueling concerns about a possible escalation of tensions with the country. The photo, taken during a trip on Air Force One, shows Trump posing alongside a signed hat that repurposes his signature campaign slogan from the 2016 US presidential election.
Trump's renewed threat to take military action against Iran comes after Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was abducted by US forces in Caracas. In response, Iranian officials have dismissed Trump's warnings and vowed to confront any potential attacks on their country.
Senator Lindsey Graham, a close ally of Trump, had previously donned the same hat during an interview, sparking speculation about regime change in Iran. The photo posted on social media appears to be a nod to this idea, with the Iranian flag also prominently displayed on the hat.
Trump's comments on the abduction of Maduro have been seen as a warning shot across the bows of Iran's security forces, who are cracking down on anti-government protests in the country. If protesters continue to be killed, Trump has warned that the US would "hit very hard".
Critics argue that Graham's endorsement of the Iranian government is hypocritical, given his support for regime change and his comments about making Iran "great again". Meanwhile, Trump's continued threats against Iran have raised concerns about a potential escalation of the conflict.
Iranian officials have dismissed Trump's warnings as empty rhetoric, but the situation remains tense. A ceasefire was reached following an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites in June, but tensions have risen once again since Maduro's abduction.
Trump's "Make Iran Great Again" hat has sparked outrage among many who see it as a symbol of American imperialism and aggression towards the Middle East. The incident raises questions about Trump's true intentions and the likelihood of military action against Iran.
