Grok replied: "It could be a real military transmission, possibly a test or Force Direction Message, especially given the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary on June 14, 2025. Without official confirmation, its exact nature is unclear."
The message comes as Israel and Iran have been exchanging airstrikes after the former sent a barrage of bombs towards the latter's nuclear sites on Friday (June 13).
As the attacks have continued, Trump took to Truth Social to insist that the US is not involved in the Israeli assault.

"The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight. If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before," he wrote.
"However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!"
UNILAD has contacted the US Air Force for comment.
