Donald Trump called out for making major mistake in since-deleted post about Iran

Earlier today, Donald Trump shared an all-caps statement on Truth Social, claiming he'd called off military strikes against Iran following 'productive talks' with leaders in Tehran.

Minutes later, the fiery post was deleted, confusing a number of political onlookers.

Giving them whiplash for a second time, a similarly composed message was re-uploaded less than 25 minutes after the original version was shared, including a number of subtle changes.

It turns out that the US President had removed the original statement after several critics were quick to point out that it contained a number of spelling, grammar and phrasing mistakes.

Trump's original message contained a number of errors (Truth Social)

In his first post, he wrote: "I AM PLEASE TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST."

In case you didn't spot it, Trump accidentally wrote that he's 'please to report', rather than the correct 'pleased to report'.

The 79-year-old Republican continued: "BASED ON THE TENOR AND TONE OF THESE IN DEPTH, DETAILED, AND CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS, WITCH WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD, SUBJECT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ONGOING MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS."

Did you catch that one? If not, worry not. If you take a closer look at his latter sentence, you'll see that Trump spelt the word 'which' wrong.

He'd spelt it in the villainous fictional fairytale sense, and not the pronoun.

"Trump's making insane spelling mistakes in his latest post. Totally embarrassing," one X user hit out moments after the original post was removed.

Another noted: "A lot of spelling errors on that post by Trump....God forbid if his twitter is hacked some day."

"Look at all of the grammatical and spelling errors," a third continued. "This was RUSHED in PANIC."

"Let's hope this is a real Trump post - the spelling error sure seems to confirm this," a fourth went on.

Trump's statement on the postponement of military strikes comes just shy of a month since he and Benjamin Netanyahu launched a joint US-Israeli assault on the capital, killing the country's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.

The attack prompted hundreds of retaliatory missiles and thousands of drones from Iran across the region, including in Israel, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Cyprus.

Responding to Trump's claim, Iranian leaders quickly insisted the American leader had, in fact, 'backed down' from further attacks on Iran, after receiving a 'firm warning' from Tehran.

The response was reportedly issued by members of the Iranian embassy in Kabul, as per Sky News. They'd claimed on social media that the right-wing leader had retreated following threats from Iran to 'target the energy infrastructure of the entire region'.

A source, cited by Iranian Fars reporters, insisted that no direct communication had taken place between the US and Iran, nor through intermediaries, refuting Trump's claim that 'very good' conversations with Iranian leaders on bringing the conflict to an end had been had.
