Pro-Iran memes go viral, striking back at Trump in propaganda war

The war on Iran is the first major conflict where the propaganda battle might be won or lost in memes.

Pro-Iran accounts have unleashed viral videos in recent days mocking President Trump, casting him as a dupe of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and suggesting U.S. forces could suffer major losses if the conflict continues.



Similarly, Stahl noted that one reason that the pro-Iranian animated videos have such traction is because they have an actual narrative structure as opposed to the “highlight reel” sensibility of the Trump administration’s videos of missile strikes.

The U.S. videos “don’t tell a story. They aren’t designed to make a case. The ones coming out of Iran, like the AI ‘Lego’ one, ascribe a motive to the Trump administration — distraction from the Epstein files — and describe the overreach of the campaign,” he said.
