Minutes later When President Donald Trump announced Tuesday night that he would not wipe out “an entire civilization,” a team of self-proclaimed young Iranian activists sprang into action.
Members of the group known as Explosive Media put the finishing touches on their latest AI-generated, Lego-inspired Trump video. The video shows a Trump minifigure conspiring with leaders from Gulf states, Iranian officials pressing a large red button that says “Back to the Stone Age” and Trump throwing a chair at U.S. generals.
This was the latest of more than a dozen videos the pro-Iran group has released since the war began in February, many of which have garnered millions of views on mainstream platforms. While Iranian government accounts have published Lego-style videos in the past, Explosive Media’s content is more sophisticated, scripted, and produced by a team of young pro-Iranian creators who appear to have extensive knowledge of the Internet and American culture.
