President Trump post an image of the aftermath of an accident at an Iranian space facility. He also proceed text saying “I wish Iran best wishes and good luck in determining what happened at Site One. On Thursday, the NPR broke the news of the launch failure by using satellites images that flew over Irans;s Imam Khomeini Space Center. President Trump wanted to make it known that the United States of America was not involved in the catastrophic accident during the final launch at Semnan Launch Site One in Iran. The failure occurred while the rocket was being fueled which caused a ton of debris and charring around the pad. The government in Iran are mad because they feel like the United States of America invaded their privacy and had no reason to make that picture public. They suspect it was taken by a drone or a spy place which violated Iranian airspace. Trump making the image public allows the other countries know what the U.S is capable of.  We have technology that allows us to see what may be occurring in their own country. I think that it is foolish for trump to be posting on social media failures that happen in other countries. Then he proceeds to make a non genuine apology which will rub U.S citizens wrong, but most importantly other countries. Trump is only drawing negative attention to America which will eventually cause tension, maybe even war.
