U.S. President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video clip on August 31 claiming that Iran's Kharg Island had been blown to smithereens. The post came hours after the two countries traded attacks for the first time since July.

Kharg Island is a strategically important oil hub that handles around 90 percent of Iran's oil exports.

An Iranian official responded to the AI-generated footage, describing the post as laughable.
