AI and old videos fuel propaganda war on social media

As the conflict between Israel and Iran escalates, disinformation on social media is also growing. In some cases, old videos are being resurfaced from past conflicts. Others are fully, or partially, generated by artificial intelligence. Some clips are even footage from video games.
One video circulating on Instagram on Friday showed a burning skyline, which some users described as an Israeli missile strike on Iran, while others claimed it showed Israel. Neither was correct — NBC News used a reverse image search to find the original, which came from a live news broadcast showing the U.S. bombing of Iraq in 2003.
Another video was originally from the 2012 video game "War Thunder," the original credit covered up by a new, incorrect text box claiming it showed Iran intercepting an Israeli jet.
Both a photo claiming to show Israeli intelligence HQ in ruins and a video of a nuclear bomb-sized mushroom cloud in Tehran on X appeared to be AI-generated, based on NBC News' visual analysis and confirmation through a tool operated by Google that identifies its own AI-generative technology.
