What Happened
Minutes after President Donald Trump announced that he would not wipe out “a whole civilization” on Tuesday evening, a team of self-described young Iranian activists jumped into action.
Why It Matters

Key Details
- The video features a Trump mini-figure colluding with leaders from Gulf states, Iranian officials pressing a big red button labeled “back to the stone age,” and Trump throwing a chair at US generals.
- This was the latest of more than a dozen videos the pro-Iran group has released since the beginning of the war in February, many of which have racked up millions of views on mainstream platforms.
- While Iranian government accounts have posted Lego-style videos in the past, Explosive Media’s content is more sophisticated and scripted.
- And it's produced by a team of young pro-Iranian creators who appear deeply knowledgeable about the Internet and American culture.
