The White House’s official social media accounts posted two cryptic videos on Wednesday, March 25, before deleting one of them. The first video, shared on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, featured a woman’s voice asking, 'It’s launching soon, right?' with text on screen reading 'sound on.' The second video, still available on Instagram, showed static and a phone notification sound, with a brief glimpse of the U.S. flag.
The White House has not provided any context for the posts, leaving their purpose unclear. Social media users speculated about whether the accounts were compromised or if the videos were intentionally teasing an upcoming announcement. The posts come amid ongoing tensions in Iran, though no direct connection has been established.
The White House did not respond to requests for comment as of Thursday morning. The videos were not shared on the White House’s Facebook page.
