A video circulated online in March 2026 that users on platforms such as X (archived), Reddit and Facebook (archived) purported to be an authentic propaganda video from Iran.
The video, which appeared to be generated using artificial intelligence, depicts U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the style of Lego minifigures.
It also includes assertions that there was a cover-up of the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking investigation to protect Trump and that the president was "bleeding for a puppet," referring to Netanyahu.
The video also features a rap song with lyrics that appear to be directed at Trump, such as:
L-O-S-E-R
Yeah we're spelling out your name
Sent them to the slaughter
You the only one to blame
The conclusion of the video features a distraught-looking Lego Trump watching a parade of Lego caskets draped in the American flag while the lyrics "the slaughterhouse is open" are sung.
A final block of text reads:
You will drown in our BLOOD. You made a grave mistake by choosing to attack us. Among all U.S. presidents, you stand out for making one of the most reckless and misguided decisions.
You underestimated the strength, resilience, and unity of our people. History will judge this choice, and it will not be in your favor.
NO Thanks You For Your Attention to This Matter.
The People of Iran
The sign-off line directly references Trump's social media posting style, which often ends with "thank you for your attention to this matter."

The video appears to be authentic Iranian propaganda, though Snopes was unable to confirm that it originated with the Iranian government or media. It was the latest of many similar AI-generated videos targeting the morale of the U.S. and Israel since the two countries went to war with Iran in February 2026.
Snopes confirmed with the account that first shared the video in question that its owners were also the creators. The profile information for the account confirmed it was based in Iran and created in June 2025.
Some reports covering the video claimed its creators had ties to Iranian state media outlets Tasnim, a news agency affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, but the account holder did not confirm that information in our exchange.
Snopes reached out to the White House, which declined to comment on the video. We also emailed Lego for comment and will update this article if we hear back.
The media has widely reported on the "AI Slop Propaganda War," as independent outlet 404 Media put it in an article that said of this particular video that "Iran's use of Lego set rap music tells me it's been studying us. These are videos meant for the American people crafted in a language Iran knows we'll understand. Meanwhile, the White House is dropping 'Grand Theft Auto' and 'Call of Duty' memes that were out of fashion 10 years ago."
404 Media also noted that propaganda "aimed at shaking the morale of American troops" was commonplace in previous conflicts such as World War II and the Vietnam War, but that technology — AI tools in particular — has resulted in that propaganda reaching American internet users.
In a report on the two governments' different usage of AI slop, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty said it appeared the United States was focusing its attention on domestic audiences, whereas Iranian content was aimed to get the message out globally.
The report explained that Iran's "childlike aesthetic isn't just optics, it's a technical workaround" as "cartoon content is far less likely to be flagged or removed by social media platforms than actual war footage."
AI slop pertaining to the conflict in Iran has not been used just by the respective governments, but also creators looking to capitalize on world events by producing AI-generated content that can be monetized.
A BBC report on the matter said the internet was experiencing "an unprecedented wave of AI-generated misinformation" due to the events in Iran.
