Trump publishes AI-generated video showing destruction of Iranian island of Kharg

Correio da Manhã31 August 2026 at 08:57

Former President of the United States Donald Trump published on social media an AI-generated video simulating bombings on the Iranian island of Kharg, a strategic oil facility in the Persian Gulf.

The video shows images of a storage tank and an oil tanker exploding, captured from an aerial perspective, as if viewed from an aircraft.

The publication comes at a time of growing tension between the United States and Iran, with international concerns about the Iranian nuclear program and the country's regional activities in the Middle East.

Kharg is one of the largest oil terminals in the world and has been frequently mentioned in geopolitical analyses as a potential target in military conflict scenarios in the region.

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.
