The homepage for the U.S. Federal Depository Library Program was altered to show a picture of a bloodied President Donald Trump being punched in the face before the website was taken down.
The incident comes days after the U.S. killed Iran's General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force, in a drone strike further heightening tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
Iran has promised"harsh revenge" on the U.S. for the killing of Soleimani, who has been blamed for attacks on U.S troops and American allies dating back decades, the Associated Press reported. Trump vowed on Twitter to attack Iran if it retaliates against the U.S. for"ridding the world of their terrorist leader who had just killed an American, & badly wounded many others."
"The United States just spent Two Trillion Dollars on Military Equipment. We are the biggest and by far the BEST in the World!" Trump tweeted on Saturday evening."If Iran attacks an American Base, or any American, we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way...and without hesitation!"
In a previous tweet, Trump wrote the U.S. had"targeted 52 Iranian sites , some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!"
