Could fake videos make it harder to know what Is happening during war?
The U.S. military last week said it struck three Iranian oil tankers after Navy warships were targeted with missiles, warning that it would ‘if necessary, destroy Iran’s limited and exposed oil fleet.’ Misinformation for political gain and narrative control continues to plague events in the region, creating difficult conditions for decision makers on both sides.

U.S. forces struck three Iranian oil tankers after Navy warships were targeted with ballistic missiles, the American military said Saturday, warning that it would “if necessary, destroy Iran’s limited and exposed oil fleet.” Experts called it a dangerous escalation after Iran’s previous attacks at sea targeted commercial shipping.
The strikes — a day after U.S. President Donald Trump sought to minimize the conflict as “small potatoes” — keep up a new tilt back toward fighting after six months of on-again, off-again war that began with U.S. and Israeli attacks on the country on Feb. 28. Both sides have sought to inflict both military and economic pain, and negotiations have collapsed.
