Trump Accuses Iran of AI-Generated Disinformation

0:00On March 16th, former President Donald Trump used Truth Social on Sunday to accuse Iran of relying on artificial intelligence to create fake videos and images of military victories. He claims these are designed to hide Iran's weak forces amid real losses on the battlefield. Trump specifically debunked online reports showing explosive boats attacking U.S. ships, five refueling planes supposedly destroyed and the aircraft, carrier USS Abraham Lincoln burning at sea. He says all those assets are fully operational, with just one plane temporarily sidelined. According to Trump, Iran has mastered media tricks and now uses AI as his top tool for disinformation, even coordinating with certain news outlets. He called the spread of such falsehoods, dangerous and suggested some media faces serious consequences. Meanwhile, sources report Trump plans to announce a coalition to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz for safer passage.
