The White House posted a 42-second video titled "Justice the American way" on its official X account, blending footage of US military strikes on Iran with scenes from Hollywood movies and video games. The montage featured clips from films like Iron Man, Top Gun, Gladiator, and Tropic Thunder, alongside real strike footage and a brief appearance by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The video sparked criticism, notably from actor Ben Stiller, who demanded removal of the Tropic Thunder clip, calling war "not a movie." The video coincides with ongoing US-Israeli military operations targeting Iran's missile infrastructure amid escalating regional tensions.
