Think again. Iran is trying to make you believe that. And, a lot of people are falling for it. Reported by Fox News? Think again. It's from the Washington Post.
A grainy video appears to show a line of blindfolded young girls parading past an underwear-clad Donald Trump. A girl’s anguished voice cries out in German. The video cuts to scenes of Trump and other famous figures talking with the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“This video is not fake,” said a post on X from an account called HDX News that was viewed more than 6.8 million times. “These pedophile perverts started a war so that this wouldn’t be talked about.”
The video is indeed fake, disinformation researchers say. And the account is part of a pro-Iran propaganda network that has found viral success by tapping into the conspiracy theory that Trump attacked Iran to distract the public from the Epstein files.
