Iran sends missile message to US with Epstein reference: 'In memory of the victims of Epstein Island'
Amid the ongoing tensions between Iran, the US, and Israel, messages written on military missiles have become a global talking point. The English and Persian notes, which draw attention with their references to the Western world, have become one of the most striking elements of psychological warfare in recent times.

As the tension between Iran and Western countries in the Middle East enters its 12th day, new images circulating on social media have captured public attention. In the footage, which is stated to have been filmed during Iranian military operations, messages written on the bodies of various missiles stand out.
While the note “In memory of the victims of Epstein Island” draws attention on some missiles, references to major scandals in the West are notable. Other missiles featured expressions in Persian.
At the same time, a reference was also made to Iran Air Flight 655, which was shot down by the US Navy in the Persian Gulf in 1988.
THE EPSTEIN EFFECT IN PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE
The Epstein file, which has occupied international public opinion for many years, has been brought to the forefront as an element of psychological warfare in Iran's messaging. Going beyond harsh rhetoric against the US, Iran has brought various events to the agenda with the notes written on the missiles. The scandal, which allegedly involved Epstein operating on his private island in the Caribbean and being associated with numerous well-known figures, has once again found its place on the US public agenda.
Another striking element in the messages is that these notes make a direct reference to US President Donald Trump. Although Trump's name was mentioned in connection with the accusations linked to Epstein that caused controversy in recent years, he had stated that he was in no way involved in the matter. However, the emergence of the new images, especially in a war atmosphere, has led to different interpretations in the shadow of these accusations.
