YouTube has banned the channel of an Iran-linked group called Explosive Media, which had been producing viral AI-generated LEGO-style videos mocking US military action and President Donald Trump, with some clips amassing hundreds of millions of views. The suspension, citing violent content and deceptive practices, came after a video claiming "Iran won" circulated widely; Tehran's Foreign Ministry condemned the move as suppression of truth and an effort to shield US narratives. A representative for Explosive Media, which a BBC investigation found consists of fewer than ten people and counts the Iranian government among its clients, confirmed the group's existence, highlighting how Iran has increasingly turned to AI-driven satire targeting Western audiences during the ongoing conflict.
