State Actors Spread AI-Generated War Videos

Since the Iran war began last weekend, state-linked and pro-Iran social media accounts have circulated AI-generated videos purporting to show strikes, including a falsified Bahraini high-rise clip and other misrepresented footage. Experts and monitoring groups attribute amplification to campaigns like Operation Overload and to censorship-driven information vacuums; platforms such as X now enforce disclosure rules, suspending accounts for undisclosed AI conflict content.
