TEHRAN — A cackling President Donald Trump completely psyched out the Iranian regime by threatening nuclear war and then dropping bombs that only shoot out little flags that say "POW!".

A giggling Trump reportedly watched from the White House Situation Room as terrified Iranian officials on the ground watched missiles shoot out a tiny puff of smoke and a little sign reading "POW!".

"Oh man, did you see their faces? Classic," laughed Trump. "Look at this guy, he's all waiting to get incinerated in a mushroom cloud, and then... 'POW!' Roll that one back, Pete, I've got to see it again."

According to administration sources, Trump has spent weeks planning the epic prank, steadily escalating his threats of nuclear annihilation. "We really needed them to believe it was a nuclear apocalypse for maximum comedic effect," explained Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. "All of the preparation paid off when that first little cone popped off the missile and out came a flag saying 'POW!'. We got them so good!"

At publishing time, Trump had asked the Pentagon if it was possible to make a mushroom cloud that would then form into the words "POW!".
