Trump posts AI-generated video showing destruction of Iranian island of Jarg

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General31 August 2026 at 07:29

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, shared this Sunday an artificial intelligence-generated video on the Truth Social platform. The video shows the destruction of the Iranian island of Jarg, which is Iran's main oil terminal.

The content was published directly by the American president on his own social network, generating international repercussion. The island of Jarg has significant strategic importance as the main oil export point of the country.

The use of AI-generated videos to depict destruction scenarios raises questions about the political use of this technology. It was not specified in the article whether the video was merely illustrative or if it accompanied any explicit message or threat from Trump to Iran.

The Lula government reserved R$ 44.8 billion for parliamentary amendments in the 2027 Annual Budget Bill (PLOA), an increase of R$ 4 billion compared to the proposal for 2026. The amount is expected to be higher after Congressional approval, since in 2026, R$ 40.8 billion was reserved, but the approved amount reached R$ 50 billion. Mandatory amendments are those the government is obligated to pay, while non-mandatory ones depend on available space in the Budget. There are three types of amendments: individual, from state delegations, and from committees, each with its own rules for distribution and application.
