Iran and the Houthis have been producing disinformation videos targeting the United States and President Trump. Winning in cyberspace does not necessarily translate into winning in the real world.

This extends to the parallel conflict between the United States and the Houthis, with Houthi media supporting Iran’s false narratives and Iran amplifying, as well as outright manufacturing, Houthi disinformation.In Saada, the Houthi stronghold in northern Yemen, a rally billed as “Warning and Mobilization Friday” drew what Houthi official Yahya Nabih described as an unprecedented jihad undertaken “for God’s sake.” He said it was also a rejection of servitude to “the tyrants and criminals of the age.” Participants chanted slogans built around the rhyme, “aggression for aggression, siege for siege.”Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi went further than Saree’s narrower framing in a separate address, declaring that “all Saudi oil facilities and vital installations are targets for our missiles and drones.” He also described Saudi inspections of incoming wheat and medicine shipments as an intolerable humiliation.He further asserted that the Saudi enemy had “trapped itself” through its aggression against Yemen, a framing picked up nearly verbatim by Iran’s state outlet IranPress. Kremlin-backed RT Arabic also used similar language in its coverage.Verification desks at CNN Arabic and Al Jazeera had to debunk footage claiming to show the Houthis’ July 13 missile-and-drone strike on Abha International Airport in southwestern Saudi Arabia. One widely shared clip traced back to 2019 coalition-released CCTV footage of an earlier Houthi attack on the same airport. Another traced to a 2022 Aramco storage fire in Jeddah.Iran state and IRGC-linked propaganda apparatus has run a largely separate campaign focused on the wider war rather than Houthi-branded material specifically, and it has leaned heavily on artificial intelligence. The IRGC’s official Telegram channel released an AI-generated video titled “One Vengeance for All” on March 24, depicting an Iranian ballistic missile strike on the United States, with Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB credited alongside the IRGC.Two days later, Iran’s messaging apparatus had built a campaign mocking President Trump, including a Lego-style animated video depicting Iranian soldiers taking revenge on miniature Lego figures of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, closing on a black screen reading, “your grave mistake of attacking us will be judged by history, and it won’t be in your favor.”MEMRI’s Cyber & Jihad Lab, a project that monitors and translates cyber jihad activity across the Middle East, Iran, South Asia, and North and West Africa, has documented a growing pattern of AI-generated propaganda from Iran-aligned outlets.In one case flagged by the lab, Iran-linked accounts posted AI-animated videos mocking President Trump and urging the IRGC to resume the war, released within hours of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire. The clips used cartoonish characters and symbolism to push anti-U.S. messaging and project readiness for renewed conflict.The Houthis have followed a similar pattern. According to MEMRI Executive Director Steven Stalinsky, AI tools are being used by a rising generation within Hizbullah, Hamas, and Yemen’s Ansar Allah Movement to recruit new supporters, with members discussing AI strategy on closed encrypted platforms.One Telegram channel tracked by the lab posted AI-generated images of Trump humiliated and defeated by the Houthis, standing before wreckage pierced by a jambiya, the traditional Yemeni dagger. A separate channel tied to Iran-backed militias in Iraq published an AI poster showing the Houthi military spokesman standing over a submissive Trump, foot on his neck.The same Iraq-linked network has gone further than mockery. MEMRI documented an AI-generated video depicting an Iranian attack on U.S. forces in the Middle East, carrying a direct warning to American troops that their coffins were already on the way.By July, the productions grew more targeted and personal. The Jerusalem Post reported that an IRGC-linked channel called “Explosive Media” published AI-generated Lego videos claiming the regime was behind the death of Senator Lindsey Graham. The clips were captioned on Telegram “who’s next.” The channel followed with a video titled “Bullseye Loomer” targeting commentator Laura Loomer, then created similar Lego-figure threats against Mark Levin, Miriam Adelson, Randy Fine, and Ben Shapiro. Loomer stated publicly she holds the IRGC directly responsible for the channel’s output.Deadline’s reporting on the war’s information dimension cited the analytics firm Cyabra documenting a pro-Iran campaign that generated over 145 million views within days using tens of thousands of fake accounts. A Clemson University study cited in the same report found IRGC-linked accounts pushing AI-generated content across X, Instagram, and Bluesky to audiences in the millions. The reporting also noted the White House ran its own parallel campaign of “hype videos” blending real strike footage with Call of Duty and Top Gun imagery.In May, Europol announced a 19-country operation targeting over 14,200 posts and links tied to the IRGC. The operation described AI-generated videos glorifying the corps alongside material linked to allied groups it named explicitly: Hezbollah, the Houthis, Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Europol also confirmed the IRGC’s main X account, with over 150,000 followers, had been withheld in the EU.
