See how many millions of views this totally false claim has got. It was also tweeted by the official Israel account.

One is Saleh Aljafarawi from Gaza who can be found on Instagram, and the other is Mohammed Zendiq, 16, from the West Bank, who lost his leg at a hospital in July.

This video posted by the official Persian account of the Israeli government claims to show a member of the Basij paramilitary force on the streets of Tehran being targeted by a strike.

But it's AI-generated. Follow this thread to find out how we can verify that it's AI. Image
Through a reverse search, we can find this video (left) which was shared by @mamlekate on 15 March. It shows a Basij member near a number of tents on a street in east Tehran.

Once put side by side, we can clearly see that both clips show the same location and setting.
Next, we need to find the precise location of the video.

It was filmed at the 2nd roundabout in Tehranpars district, in front of a Melli Bank branch.

Location: 35.735354, 51.529137

We can see the same blue wall and adjacent brown building in the video in a Google image. Image

BBC Verify has pieced together verified videos, satellite imagery and expert views after a deadly attack near a primary school in Minab, souther Iran, which suggest the area was hit more than once "by multiple simultaneous or near-simultaneous strikes".

bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Satellite imagery by @planet shows at least five buildings with visible craters and black scorch marks in the area.

"[It] seems it was intentional to hit the area," a satellite analyst said, adding: "But we don't know what they intended to strike." Image
@planet Two videos filmed in the immediate aftermath of the attack show multiple plumes of smoke within an IRGC base and medical clinic near the school, as well as the school's top floor.

The location of smoke plumes in videos correspond to visible damage in satellite imagery. Image

This video, viewed 9.5 million times, claims to show a US F15 fighter jet being shot down by an Iranian missile in Kuwait.

The video is not real. It's from a military video game. Image
This video, viewed half a million times, claims to show Iranian drone strikes on tower blocks in Bahrain.

But it's AI-generated and fake. Apart form figures magically disappearing in the clip, the fire in the tower on the left somehow stops on its own. Image
