Trump's Truth Social crashed moments after he announced strikes on Iranian nuclear strikes
Trump's social media platform Truth Social faced disruption across US soon after he posted about strikes on Iranian nuclear sites read more
US President Donald Trump's Truth Social platform suffered a major outage early Sunday (June 22), moments after he announced the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites.
Downdetector reported that thousands of users faced problems and experienced server issues while trying to access the social media platform on both Windows and mobile phones.
The platform crashed soon after Trump posted this: 'We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran's airspace. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home."
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
In a separate post, Trump wrote: 'Fordow is gone", referring to the underground nuclear facility near Natanz.
The strikes followed the deployment of B-2 stealth bombers to Guam earlier on Saturday. In announcing the operation, President Trump confirmed that B-2 bombers executed the attacks, calling it a 'historic moment' for the US, Israel, and the global community, stressing that the strike was a critical step in addressing the ongoing regional crisis.
What caused Truth Social to crash?
Some screenshots posted by users showed that API (Application Programming Interfaces) congestion may have caused the disruption.
It's a situation when the volume of requests being sent to an API exceeds its capacity to handle them efficiently, causing drop in performance quality.
Simply put, it's a traffic jam for API requests.
Despite Trump's massive popularity and following on all other social media platforms, he exclusively uses his Truth Social for making announcements and posts on issues of national and international importance.
His stake in Truth Social's parent company TMTG has earned him a significant portion of his net worth.
Just a few days back, the platform urged its users to following Trump by sending them an email.
'If you aren't following President Donald J. Trump on Truth Social, you're missing an essential resource for navigating world affairs today,' the e-mail read.
