Show Notes
As the US and Israel continue strikes on Iran following a weekend attack, false images and videos are circulating online. Iranian state media confirmed Khameneis death, but no official photo has surfaced. Instead, viral posts push old footage and fake claims. One big fake is an image of a body under rubble, supposedly Khamenei, which was proven to be AI-generated. Social media users are sharing these wildly, stirring up anger and confusion. Claims like an Iranian missile hitting the USS Abraham Lincoln are bogus. Other videos claim to show a US fighter jet shot down over Iran or soldiers coming home in coffins, but these are all false. The US military noted three F-fifteen E jets accidentally downed by friendly fire in Kuwait on Monday, not Iran. Officials urge everyone to check sources as misinformation keeps spreading.
