Trump accuses Iran of AI-driven disinformation, dismisses battlefield claims
President Donald Trump accused Iran of using artificial intelligence and sympathetic media outlets to spread false claims about the war, dismissing reports of damage to US aircraft and naval assets.
In a lengthy social media post, Trump said Iran was “militarily ineffective and weak” but adept at media manipulation, alleging it had circulated fabricated images and videos—including supposed attacks on ships and aircraft—to exaggerate its capabilities.
He rejected reports that US refueling planes had been struck and said depictions of burning ships, including the USS Abraham Lincoln, were false.
