🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Your feed just became part of the war While the U.S., Israel, and Iran exchange strikes, they’re also flooding social media with memes, AI videos, and viral clips to shape how you see the war. Iran is pushing AI-generated “Lego-style” videos targeting Americans, mixing in topics like Epstein and past wars. At the same time, official U.S. accounts are posting cinematic clips to frame the conflict as heroic. This is psychological warfare. Both sides are turning serious policy into internet content to influence public opinion, distract, and control the narrative. Source: MiddleEastEye YT

‼️ ATTENTION Homeland Security FBI Director Kash Patel Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Department of State ‼️ In addition to traveling to Iran attend the funeral of the Ayatollah where attendees were chanting “Death to America” and “Kill Trump”, radical leftist and Islamic sympathizer Max Blumenthal Max Blumenthal sat down for an “interview” with the head of Explosive Media Explosive Media, the creator of the Iranian LEGO propaganda videos that openly call for the assassination of President Trump, US citizens and Trump administration officials, including myself. The men who operate Explosive Media are affiliated with Iran’s Media Literacy Club, an Islamic Regime media training pipeline, as well as Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), Iran’s state broadcaster which has been sanctioned for cooperating with the IRGC. The LEGO videos are part of Iranian state media. Blumenthal is seen in the video below sitting in front of the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Explosive Media usually begins or ends their LEGO videos with a giant red sign that says “KT”. KT means “Kill Trump”. This interview comes after Blumenthal’s electronics were seized by DHS and Border Patrol upon his return to the United States from Iran, where he was questioned by authorities over who paid for his trip and what he was doing in Iran. Blumenthal was reportedly very combative with authorities, elusive over who paid for his trip, and he is now suing the Trump administration to prevent the evidence from coming out. He really doesn’t want authorities seeing the alleged communications on his phone with Iranian officials and whoever else it is that he met with while he was in Iran… likely because it could possibly lead to criminal charges. Blumenthal is NOT a journalist. He is an anti-American propagandist who is amplifying content creators who are explicitly calling for the assassination of President Trump and who are directly tied to sanctioned entities. It’s time for law enforcement to raid Blumenthal and hold him and The Grayzone accountable once and for all. His passport should be confiscated and he should be throughly investigated. Secretary Marco Rubio FBI Director Kash Patel

An Iran-linked propaganda operation has been making Lego-style videos that put me and other Americans in the crosshairs of the IRGC. Here’s who is actually behind these videos. The videos themselves credit two accounts working side by side, Explosive Media and PersiaBoi, under the banner of a "Lego Resistance Front." An investigation has confirmed that Explosive Media traces straight back to the Iranian regime. The account owner even went on the BBC and admitted the Iranian government is a paying customer. PersiaBoi is an American citizen, a nurse living right here in the United States, collaborating with a propaganda operation for the Iranian regime. If he is taking a single dollar from Iran or anyone tied to these assassination porn videos, that is a sanctions violation, and in my book, he should be facing espionage charges. A hostile foreign regime is running assassination propaganda against American citizens from inside our own borders, and not one person has been held accountable for it.
