The US Air Force has broadcasted two encrypted codes, and the reason for doing so remains unclear.

A 20-minute transmission sent on Saturday (June 14) from the air service has since been intercepted and leaked online.

While the the code hasn't been cracked, it was sent through The High Frequency Global Communications System - which is a network the US Air Forces uses to communicate with planes, ground bases, and some Navy units.

It works using shortwave radio signals, which can travel long distances, and is crucial for sending emergency messages and other critical information quickly.

A recording of the message was uploaded onto Twitter.

One Twitter users asked the platform's AI assisted chatbot 'Grok' to help explain what the message was.

Grok replied: "It could be a real military transmission, possibly a test or Force Direction Message, especially given the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary on June 14, 2025. Without official confirmation, its exact nature is unclear."

The message comes as Israel and Iran have been exchanging airstrikes after the former sent a barrage of bombs towards the latter's nuclear sites on Friday (June 13).

As the attacks have continued, Trump took to Truth Social to insist that the US is not involved in the Israeli assault.

"The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight. If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before," he wrote.

"However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!"

UNILAD has contacted the US Air Force for comment.
