The Iran/US/Israel war might have already broken the record for the highest number of AI-generated videos and images that have gone viral during a conflict.

Interestingly, I said the exact same thing right after the 12-day war in June.

Welcome to our brave new world of AI misinformation.

I think war is serious business, real life-and-death stuff, and should be taken seriously by people who initiate and prosecute it.

Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody.

This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration.

This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.

i'm taking a brave stance that may get me canceled: there is no reason for the pervert glasses to exist

Oh man! Flashback to Grade 6! I loved the attack helicopter cheat.

Trump: "Spain has been terrible. I told Scott to cut off all dealings with Spain. They said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it."

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

Now U.S. has closed two embassies in Mideast & told Americans in 14 countries to leave. But most airspace is shut down, there are no flights. Reading about people from around the world stranded.

Why are they only now telling Americans to leave? No planning, they weren’t expecting it to spiral.

As the war enters it's fourth day, more remnants and misinformation continues to be posted online. There's a couple that didn't make it into the article.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

“Bombs will fall Everywhere”: The American, Israeli and Iranian Weapons Being Deployed in Middle East - bellingcat Bellingcat has been monitoring strikes across the Middle East and has identified a wide variety of weapons that have been used in the conflict so far, including missiles and drones.

Israel used 2,000+ bombs in the first 30 hours of the Iran war; the US struck 1,000+ targets in the first 24 hours. Iran responded with at least 390 missiles and 830 drones in the first two days. Bellingcat has tracked the munitions used by all sides so far: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Chris Murphy: "There is 0 history of an air strike campaign alone toppling a dictatorship and transitioning a country to democracy. We know that air strikes do not knock out Iran's nuclear capability. Why? Because we did air strikes last year. President Trump lied to the American public."

The massive redeployment of these aircrafts comes on the same day that Trump promised that "the big wave" of US attacks on Iran was yet to come.
