President Trump accused Iran of weaponizing artificial intelligence to fabricate dramatic images and videos that mislead Americans and boost their propaganda, and he called out the mainstream media for spreading those fakes while downplaying Iran’s actual military failures.
Trump’s message was blunt and unapologetic, aimed at exposing what he described as coordinated disinformation between Iran and a “corrupt” press. He argued that AI makes it easier for Tehran to manufacture convincing but false scenes of success, and that too many journalists accept those visuals without enough skepticism. The tone is confrontational, insisting that the public isn’t seeing the true state of the battlefield.
“Iran has long been known as a Master of Media Manipulation and Public Relations,” the president wrote. “They are Militarily ineffective and weak, but are really good at ‘feeding’ the very appreciative Fake News Media false information.” The passage aims to label both Tehran’s propaganda efforts and the outlets that amplify them as part of a single, dishonest narrative.
Now, A.I. has become another Disinformation weapon that Iran uses, quite well, considering they are being annihilated by the day. They showed phony “Kamikaze Boats,” shooting at various Ships at Sea, which looks wonderful, powerful, and vicious, but these Boats don’t exist — It’s all false information to show how “tough” their already defeated Military is! The five U.S. Refueling Planes that were supposedly struck down and badly damaged, according to The Wall Street Journal’s false reporting, and others, are all in service, with the exception of one, which will soon be flying the skies.
Trump referenced a claim that five U.S. refueling planes were destroyed at a Saudi airport, insisting that report was false and that the aircraft remain in service. He accused outlets that repeated that story of sloppy or willful reporting, saying it’s part of a larger pattern where visuals replace verification. For him, the problem is not just mistakes but a media culture that seems happy to run dramatic content without confirming the facts.
He pushed back on images purporting to show the USS Abraham Lincoln on fire, saying the carrier was never struck and that scenes of burning ships are fabricated. The president framed those visuals as deliberate attempts to manufacture victories for Iran and to cast U.S. forces in a weaker light. That claim is part of his broader argument that AI-generated content can be weaponized as fake battlefield footage.
Buildings and Ships that are shown to be on fire are not — It’s FAKE NEWS, generated by A.I. For instance, Iran, working in close coordination with the Fake News Media, shows our great USS Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier, one of the largest and most prestigious Ships in the World, burning uncontrollably in the Ocean. Not only was it not burning, it was not even shot at — Iran knows better than to do that!
Trump accused the “Radical Leftwing Press” of knowingly circulating AI-created lies to make Iran look strong, asserting those fake wins are the only victories Tehran claims. He used strong language about media credibility, arguing low approval ratings reflect public distrust tied to repeated disinformation. The statement ties media bias directly to political consequences and to his confidence about electoral prospects.
The fact is, Iran is being decimated, and the only battles they “win” are those that they create through AI, and are distributed by Corrupt Media Outlets. The Radical Leftwing Press knows this full well, but continues to go forward with false stories and LIES. That’s why their Approval Rating is so low, and I can win a Presidential Election, IN A LANDSLIDE, getting only 5% positive Press — They have no credibility!
He also praised the Federal Communications Commission chair for signaling that media outlets should clean up their act, framing regulatory oversight as a counterweight to the spread of false digital content. That move is presented as standing up for truth and holding powerful platforms and publishers accountable for amplifying dangerous fakes. The administration’s posture is that stronger scrutiny and consequences are needed to deter coordinated disinformation campaigns.
The larger debate here is about how modern technology changes information warfare and how democracies should respond. From this perspective, AI doesn’t just complicate verification — it lowers the barrier for hostile actors to create convincing lies and for media organizations to inadvertently amplify them. The implication is clear: without rigorous verification standards and accountability, the public will keep getting a distorted picture of events.
Editor’s Note: The mainstream media continues to deflect, gaslight, spin, and lie about President Trump, his administration, and conservatives.
