Netanyahu’s office posts AI-generated video of PM, Trump flying fighter jet

In an Instagram post apparently marking six months since Israel’s war with Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s press office shares an AI-generated video of the premier and US President Donald Trump flying a fighter jet over a grid of buildings in unidentified desert terrain.

In the artificial video, which is a few seconds long, the prime minister and president are wearing aviator sunglasses and briefly glance at each other.

“On our victory lap. #sixmonths,” the caption reads.

Israel said its sweeping assault in June on Iran’s top military leaders, nuclear scientists, uranium enrichment sites and ballistic missile program was necessary to prevent the Islamic Republic from realizing its avowed plan to destroy the Jewish state.

Iran has consistently denied seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. However, it enriched uranium to levels that have no peaceful application, obstructed international inspectors from checking its nuclear facilities, and expanded its ballistic missile capabilities. Israel said Iran had recently taken steps toward weaponization.

Iran retaliated to Israel’s strikes by launching over 500 ballistic missiles and around 1,100 drones at Israel. The attacks killed 32 people and wounded over 3,000 in Israel, according to health officials and hospitals.

Near the end of the war, the US joined the strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
