The internet erupted on June 22 after US President Donald Trump confirmed that the USA carried out a major airstrike on three nuclear sites in Iran (Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan). In a Truth Social post, Trump said, “We have completed a successful attack” and warned Iran not to strike back, promising more action with precision, speed and skill.

Almost instantly, #WorldWar3 started trending on X (formerly Twitter) and Google. The social media platform was flooded with memes, panic posts, and doomsday takes. Some users cracked jokes, but many expressed real fear that this was the start of another major war.

Check out some reactions below!

Global Powers Clash Amid Fears Of World War 3

The US attack targeted Iran’s underground nuclear programme. Trump called it a “spectacular military success,” but many have doubts. Some believe it may slow down Iran's nuclear plans, but not stop them. Others warn it could trap the US in yet another long, expensive conflict.

Iran hit back with missile strikes on Israel. That led to quick Israeli retaliation. Now, the Middle East is bracing for what could spiral into something much bigger. Russia added fuel to the fire, warning the world is “millimetres” away from nuclear disaster. The United Nations also stepped in, urging all parties to pull back before things get worse.

Donald Trump’s Flip On ‘America First’ Draws Heat

This move also sparked political drama at home. Donald Trump has long promoted an “America First” agenda and criticised “endless wars.” Now, his own supporters seem confused. Some back the strike, but others say it’s a clear flip-flop on his core promises.

The situation also raises big questions about history repeating itself. From Vietnam to Afghanistan, US military campaigns with unclear goals have ended badly. “Forever war” fears are growing again, as critics compare this strike to past blunders that lacked strategy and a clear way out.

Right now, people have mixed thoughts. Some feel Iran might not hit back fully because it may not have enough military power. Others worry Iran could still respond through its allies like Hezbollah or the Houthis, which might make the situation worse.
