Donald Trump’s claims that Iran used artificial intelligence to fabricate images of massive pro-government rallies have been strongly rejected by Tehran. Iran’s police chief Ahmad-Reza Radan publicly dismissed the allegations, calling them baseless and defending the authenticity of nationwide demonstrations. The war of words escalates as U.S.-Iran tensions deepen, with disputes extending to media coverage, intelligence assessments, and battlefield narratives. Reports suggest that despite sustained military pressure, Iran’s leadership may be consolidating power internally, raising critical questions about the effectiveness of current U.S. strategy and the broader geopolitical implications.
