YouTube suspends pro-Iran channel behind viral Lego-style Trump mockery videos

Thursday, 16 April 2026, 02:04 · 1 min read

YouTube has terminated the channel of Explosive Media, a pro-Iran group known for producing AI-generated Lego-style animation videos ridiculing US President Donald Trump, citing violations of its spam, deceptive practices, and scams policies. The channel was suspended on 27 March, though the group continues to post content on X and Telegram, and its videos remain widely shared on YouTube through third-party accounts. The case has drawn attention to what analysts are calling the "Legofication" of conflict propaganda — the use of cartoonish viral memes as an information warfare tool — with Explosive Media's English-language content widely seen as targeting international audiences amid the ongoing US-Iran tensions.
