Donald Trump shared on social media an AI-generated video simulating bombings on the Iranian island of Kharg, one of Iran's main oil facilities. The images show a storage tank and an oil tanker exploding, captured from an aerial perspective.
The publication comes at a time of high tension between the United States and Iran, with the Iranian government threatening to retaliate if new sanctions or attacks are imposed on the country. Kharg is a strategic location for Iranian oil operations.
The video was identified as AI-generated content, raising questions about the spread of disinformation on social media platforms. This type of material may be interpreted as an implicit threat to Iranian sovereignty.
The Trump administration has adopted a hardline posture against Tehran, and this publication is part of a broader strategy of maximum pressure on the Iranian regime. Iranian authorities have not yet officially commented on this publication.
