Video footage purported to show Israeli strikes on headquarters of the Iranian military and revolutionary guards from the 12-day war last June have turned out to be generated by artificial intelligence (AI).
The footage, which spread across social networks starting from December 1, appears to have originated from an Instagram account that shared in the past AI generated video related to the Israeli-Iranian war.
The level of details in the latest AI video was, however, truly unprecedented. The footage, which were designed to look as if they were taken from surveillance cameras, shows what appears to be underground headquarters with people in Iranian military uniforms along with what appears to be air defense command and control equipment with real maps and realistic-looking parameters. Even the explosions appeared very realistic with bursts of fire and pressure knocking down people and equipment.
What also helped the video go viral was the inclusion of a real clip from an Israeli strike on an underground headquarters of the Iranian military from the start of the war.
The clip, included from 10 to 15 seconds in the AI video, was originally aired on November 28 by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) as a part of an interview with Brig. Gen. Reza Khajeh, Deputy for Operations of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Defense Force.
The entire AI video was apparently modeled after the footage aired by IRIB. In addition, the extremely high-level of details suggests that whoever made the video didn’t only use advanced AI models that are not yet available to everyone, but also has a good understanding of how such Iranian facilities look, and possibly even real visual samples.
Iranian state media quickly dismissed the video, but what helped expose that the footage were generated by AI were very minor details, like inaccurate ranks worn by the people, glitches in hands, irrational calm behaviour by the people after the blasts and the fact that the surveillance cameras were not affected at all by anything.
The video was likely the most successful known AI visual propaganda stunt to come out since the technology became widely available a few years ago.
There is currently no evidence linking the video to any side, but the involvement of well-organized Iranian opposition groups with vast resources like the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, or even the Israeli intelligence can’t be ruled out.
While few details helped expose this video, in a few years distinguishing such AI fakes will likely require much closer examination as this field is developing rapidly.

the terrorist entity known as israel has no boundaries it would respect. it must rule the world by its indoctrination. it will sacrifice anything to this end. just look at ukraine
israel will only respect boundries if they are forced to do so by force of arms or nations upholding international law to them.
the fact they dont punish israel is all because they are controlled by jews and aipac. trump extracts pressure on the few nations such as south africa who dragged israel to the international court of justice.
jews have infiltrated all levels of our societies and countries and institutions and made them. work for them instead of for our interests.
all degeneracy and self destructive agendas andass immigration you see in the west are jews who are doing it.
and they have coopted law enforcement and our justice system to serve them against those who call them out. that is what h speech laws are all about protecting jews from criticism and being exposed.
it dousnt matter to me if the footage is real or fake. iran lost the intelligence war against the zionists and they have to step up their defenses.
the way syria was overthrown and replaced with a jewish zogbot regime could also have been avoided if the iranians were more prepared to do whatever it takes.
iran needs to fight back more effectively everytime israel strikes them.
its time for further drone development and intel networks that allow them to strike back at israeli leadership directly. you can only defeat them if you target their government and leadership directly. no one has done whatever it takes. netanyahu still continues to commit his crimes. he still lives and he deserves to be killed!
turn ben gvir and netanyahu and smotrich into a lampshades for real!
iran should send some of his men amongs the “refugees” to europe. there is lot of very easy targets here. israel have been created because the jews control the west since they control the banks. attacking the jews in the west is attacking the root causes of the situation in the middle east.
you don’t even look at the facts . for a start catholics created banking as we know it and kings created war as the most profitable business on earth .democratic republics didn’t create either .
the bank of england runs all banks by directing the swiss bank of international settlements( thats hitler’s former bank) .and the vatican employs the rothschild’s who are almost irrelevant after jp morgan( for the bank of england) set up the reserve banking system globally.
the ministry also said that during the same period russian air defenses shot down 251 fixed-wing drones launched by kiev forces and the black sea fleet of the russian navy destroyed two ukrainian drone boats in the northwestern part of the black sea……….. https://psee.io/8ela5d
down votes should reduce the score ,not leave it unchanged. but they don’t .
i already voted for you but votes don’t affect scores in the democrats kingdom .
if the united states would withdraw its financial and military support of the so called state of israel, it would not have the ability or even the inclination to be an out of control rogue entity.
that would please the imperialist globalists , not at all because then israel would crumble and iran would expand as a mock kingdom .there would be no enemy for them to use to create eternal middle eastern wars allegedly over their religion of oil for war .so america is forced to defend israel as it ” seems ” to represent democracy when they deny it’s england’s kingdom which they all do together like you .
it’s obvious that you refuse to accept even the most undeniable facts that charles us king of israel that it was established by england to please it’s king .your refusal to accept the reality is all the evidence of your intentions ro deceive necessary to establish your motives.
south africa is owned by england’s crown lands . why do you think diana’s brother set up his new world farm there ???? it’s also a commonwealth of nations member state with the king of england heading it ,and literally owning it .nothing’s what it seems and so of course they muddy the waters .they must look, at least ,democratic at all times .
absolute typical nazi imperialistic propaganda we know they hate the truth and deception is their most ingenious weapin of mass destruction over the hearts and minds of simple common folk like sheep baaaing in their fields .
not yet available to everyone?
kids are doing this and cost them $0
it’s true that now they don’t need the mossad but any retard pentecostal zionist in brazil can do it
even your tag names indicative exactly of the nature of your designs .
that is the collective west’s only forte; virtual reality has now become virtual warfare. the only thing that the west can do is use nuclear weapons. i predicted this 20 years ago, that the west, headed by the american beast system, will conduct a first strike on russia and its allies.
when the romans completed the land bride to enter the mossad fortress all zealots were found dead by suicide. would israel destroy the region by nuke before it surrenders to its likely end? rather than live with its sins ?
hahahaha youre funny in your fanatical neo nazi rhetorical anti christian intentions . you will never admit of course .
thank you i am honored by you troll farm
it’s transparently obvious the level of subversion and infiltration of media and education that the nazis have .
explosion and sound look fake. are the same ?? thks for this analysis
