Many <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >users reported difficulties accessing<\/a> the platform shortly after the announcement was made, with complaints noted on X. The website went down around 9:09 PM ET but began functioning again by approximately 9:30 PM ET. In his announcement,Trump stated he would later address the nation about the military operation and emphasized the significance of the action,calling it a &#8220;HISTORIC MOMENT&#8221; for the U.S., Israel, and the world. The decision too strike marks the U.S. entry into the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, with Trump mentioning that congressional Republicans are divided on the issue, with some critiquing the legality of his actions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Truth Social crashes after Trump annouces US bombs Iran<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2154175\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Truth Social, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a>, briefly crashed late Saturday evening after President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump <\/a>announced earlier that the U.S. had &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3449992\/us-has-completed-bombing-of-iranian-nuclear-sites-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">completed<\/a>&rdquo; its attack on three&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Iranian<\/a>&nbsp;nuclear sites.<\/p>\n<p>Users of the social media platform, which the president launched in 2022, began complaining about the website being unusable on X. <\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3450022\/trump-truth-social-announcement-iran-departure-custom\/\">Trump&#8217;s Truth Social announcement of Iran strikes is a marked departure from custom<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3450006\/watch-live-trump-addresses-the-nation-iran-attack-nuclear-facilities\/\">WATCH LIVE: Trump addresses the nation after attack on Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3450000\/republicans-split-over-trump-decision-bomb-iran\/\">Early reaction shows Republicans split over Trump&#8217;s decision to bomb Iran<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;Truth Social seems to be down.
