Donald Trump claims Iran used artificial intelligence to fabricate footage of a quarter-million people gathering to mourn the recently assassinated Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Amid the ongoing regional escalation and the recent assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Donald Trump has accused Iran of fabricating footage of mass public support using artificial intelligence.
According to the Telegram channel 🌐 شـبكة الأحرار الإخبـاريـه 🌐, Trump publicly disputed the authenticity of recent Iranian media broadcasts showing large-scale mourning or support. Trump made the following specific claims regarding the footage: Iran displayed "about 250,000 people in a square saying how much they love Khamenei." The crowd and the scene were "entirely AI-generated."
Trump's allegations arrive during a period of intense regional instability. Following the joint US-Israeli "Epic Wrath" operation that killed Khamenei and top Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officials, a temporary leadership council in Tehran declared extensive mourning days. These officially mandated events have coincided with major anti-American riots and a massive wave of retaliatory military strikes across the Middle East.
