As tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, the conflict involving Iran and the United States is increasingly being fought online as well. Alongside military developments, Iran has stepped up its use of social media, sharing memes and AI-generated videos to push its narrative and respond to criticism.
In recent days, Iranian-linked social media accounts, including embassy handles, have posted humorous and sarcastic content aimed at the US and its policies. Many of these posts take direct aim at Donald Trump, using satire to question US actions and statements. The tone is often light, but the message is clearly political.
One of the most talked-about trends has been the use of AI-generated videos, especially short clips made in a LEGO-style format. These videos show fictional scenes involving US military operations, often presenting them in a critical or exaggerated way. Their simple, animated style makes them easy to understand and widely shareable, helping them spread quickly across platforms.
This growing use of memes and short videos highlights how modern conflicts are no longer limited to the battlefield. Social media has become a key space where countries try to influence public opinion, both at home and globally. By using humour and relatable content, such posts are able to reach younger audiences and travel faster than traditional news or official statements.
