A growing ecosystem of Iranian digital creators has begun producing content that looks less like political messaging and more like native internet culture: animations, sharp rap tracks layered with Western cultural references, subtitled religious chants, and minimalist memes built on wordplay.

The impact of such content has not gone unnoticed. John Cooper, a former campaign manager for Barack Obama, reacted to the wave of Iranian Lego-style animations by saying:

“Damn, there are new videos coming out every day, and they just keep getting better and better. They’re effective, of course, because they contain a lot of truth about the Trump regime and its policies.”

Iran’s Use of Information Warfare in the Conflict against the U.S. and Israel​


  • One of the most surprising aspects of the current war with Iran has been the Iranians’ effective use of information warfare against the United States and Israel.
  • Videos produced by Explosive Media have spread across Instagram, TikTok, and other popular social media platforms, going viral in some cases, and featuring catchy lyrics and music, including American-style hip-hop and rap music.
  • The modern information warfare domain includes AI-generated content, disinformation and fake news, influence campaigns, propaganda, and both offensive and defensive cyber operations.
  • Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz has been a constant feature of the information warfare environment, with various handles belonging to Iranian embassies around the world taking to X to troll President Trump, especially in the wake of his profanity-laced tirade on social media on Easter Day.
