From NY Post: A crazy Iranian AI-generated video shows a missile blowing up the Statue of Liberty — and also references the Epstein scandal and lefty anti-war talking points
The minute-long clip, which ends with the ominous slogan “One vengeance for all,” has been attributed to Iranian state broadcaster IRIB and was later shared by Russian regime outlet RT.
Sequences invoking Native American dispossession, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, the Vietnam War, and more recent Middle Eastern conflicts are featured in the video, casting the US as the world’s enemy.
The video content includes AI-generated imagery, including a child on Jeffrey Epstein’s island, deceased Iranian leaders Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Qassem Soleimani looking skyward, and a missile destroying the Statue of Liberty.
The video suggests a connection between the war and the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, portraying the former as a distraction from the latter.

Iranian officials, who blame the US for Middle East conflicts, appear to be targeting American leftists by casting blame on the US for problems around the world. This isn’t the first video of its kind, as there
“The propaganda includes memes and cartoons that aren’t meant to be perceived as real but are very good at spreading political messaging,” Darren Linvill, from Clemson University in South Carolina, said in a recent study. “The deepfakes portray a version of reality that [seems] genuine and often paint Iran as more successful in the conflict. Both are being shared widely among communities that are critical of the war and hungry for this messaging.”
