US and Iran Use Digital Media and Gaming Imagery in Propaganda Amid Conflict

Amid ongoing US-Israel military strikes on Iran, both sides are engaging in a digital propaganda campaign using memes, AI-generated animations, and video game imagery to influence public perception. The White House has shared stylized videos blending footage from games like Call of Duty and Wii Sports with real strike footage, while Iranian state media released AI satire portraying former US President Trump negatively. Experts caution that such content blurs lines between reality and entertainment during the conflict.
