(TJV NEWS) Iran has escalated its online propaganda battle with the United States by circulating a provocative AI-generated video that appears to mock Donald Trump, according to reports.

The clip, shared by an account linked to Iran’s embassy in Tajikistan, depicts a stylized version of Jesus confronting Trump before ultimately throwing him into a fiery pit—an image clearly designed to provoke and draw attention online.

The video quickly spread across social media platforms, racking up widespread views as it fueled the already heated digital feud between Tehran and Washington. The post appears to be a direct response to Trump’s own recent use of artificial intelligence in political messaging.

Days earlier, Trump had posted an AI-generated image portraying himself in a Christ-like role, which sparked backlash from religious observers and critics who accused him of trivializing sacred imagery.

Iran’s response underscores how both sides are increasingly leaning on viral, AI-driven content instead of traditional messaging. Rather than formal statements or press briefings, governments and affiliated groups are now using short, highly shareable clips to shape narratives and influence public perception.

This incident is part of a broader trend during the ongoing conflict, where pro-Iranian media operations and online creators have flooded the internet with satirical and often inflammatory AI-generated content targeting American figures.

Experts say this new wave of digital warfare blends humor, propaganda, and emerging technology—blurring the line between entertainment and geopolitical messaging. As AI tools become more accessible, such content is expected to become even more common, raising concerns about misinformation and the manipulation of public opinion.
