Viral Video of Iranian Missile Attack on Tel Aviv Is AI-Generated

A video showing multiple missiles striking a city is going viral on social media. It is being claimed that the footage is from the ongoing Iran–Israel conflict and shows Iran launching missile attacks on Israel’s capital, Tel Aviv. However, our investigation found that this claim is false.

A user named Awesh Tiwari shared the video on X and wrote, “Let’s watch the Iranian fireworks over Israel last night. It is certain that Iran is being supported with weapons by Russia, China, or some European countries. It has been proven that these countries are providing intelligence inputs to Iran.”

चलिए बीती रात इजरायल पर हुई ईरानी आतिशबाजी को देखें।यह तय है कि ईरान को रूस, चीन या यूरोप के कुछ देश हथियारों की मदद कर रहे हैं। यह देश ईरान को इंटेलिजेंस इनपुट दे रहे हैं यह साबित हुआ है। pic.twitter.com/vWKORWGeDL
