Overview
- On MS NOW, Ken Dilanian said Iran is using Lego-style AI videos to win the online propaganda fight, as host Katy Tur described their rapid spread mocking President Trump and senior officials.
- Dilanian said the clips have, by one count, drawn more than a billion views on X, pointing to massive reach for the low-cost videos.
- Tur highlighted a video that shows a Lego Trump reading the “Epstein files” and firing a missile at Iran as the devil and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cheer.
- Dilanian argued the United States lacks a coordinated answer after the State Department disbanded units that flagged foreign propaganda, a shutdown the Guardian reported and HuffPost cited.
- HuffPost added that the BBC interviewed a representative of Iran-based Explosive Media who called the group independent while acknowledging the Iranian regime as a customer.
