At first, they look like scenes from a Lego movie. But these viral AI videos are actually pro-Iran propaganda. They feature dying children, fighter jets, and US President Donald Trump.
A BBC podcast spoke to Mr Explosive, who represents Explosive Media. He initially denied working for the Iranian government. But later, he admitted the regime is a "customer" - something he never confirmed publicly before.
The videos carry a clear message: Iran is resisting the United States. They are not subtle, but people share them widely. One video shows Trump falling through "Epstein file" documents. Another shows George Floyd under a policeman's boot.
Experts say these AI-generated clips are "highly sophisticated" propaganda. They have been viewed hundreds of millions of times during the war. The videos often contain factual inaccuracies, but they successfully spread alternative narratives to Western audiences.
