Iran winning propaganda war with LEGO-inspired viral content


Listen Later

The US–Israeli war has unleashed another battlefield taking place on social media as AI propaganda goes viral.


Misinformation is spreading fast, from both sides, with President Trump reportedly fooled by an AI-generated attack on a US naval ship.


Many of the Iranian videos are designed to entertain, clocking up millions of views with Tehran appearing to win the information war with LEGO-inspired content.


What Iran may lack in military might, it is making up for it with asymmetric warfare: alongside a campaign of economic sabotage, it's now attempting to shape popular opinion. Will it win?
