Overview
- The intelligence firm Graphika linked a viral Lego-style Trump video to the Telegram channel Akhbar Enfejari, which was then amplified by Iran-affiliated Tasnim and Russia’s RT on X.
- Snopes confirmed the first account that shared the clip claimed to be its creator and displayed an Iran location, while it found no verified tie to state media such as Tasnim.
- The video uses English text, AI-generated rap, and images like flag-draped Lego coffins with a closing threat that reads “You will drown in our BLOOD,” aiming to sway U.S. and Israeli audiences.
- Cyabra reported pro-Iran AI videos drew about 145 million views in the early weeks of the war and showed signs of coordinated posting across tens of thousands of accounts.
- Meta, TikTok, and X did not answer questions about enforcement, while YouTube cited rules against coordinated influence operations and Reddit pointed to policies barring deceptive AI content.
