00:16The confrontation between Iran and its rivals is no longer confined to missiles, warships or diplomacy.
00:26An AI-generated video circulating online appears to show Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife being captured after
00:36a simulated Iranian strike on Tel Aviv.
00:40The footage is not real, but its message is unmistakable.
00:43Analysts say it reflects a growing shift towards psychological warfare, where narratives and perception are weapons just as powerful as
00:53missiles.
00:54In the video, drones are shown striking buildings in Tel Aviv before commandos arrest Netanyahu and escort him away in
01:02handcuffs.
01:03The scene ends with the couple depicted aboard a military aircraft, blindfolded and detained.
01:09Clips like these are designed less to inform than to intimidate, projecting strength, mocking adversaries and signaling what Iran wants
01:19the world to imagine could happen in a future conflict.
01:22The video surfaced as Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali, Khamenei, issued fresh warnings to both Washington and Tel Aviv.
01:31He declared that more dangerous than fleets of warships are the weapons capable of sinking them and insisted the United
01:39States has failed for decades to destroy the Islamic Republic.
01:43His message was clear.
01:45Iran believes it has both the capability and the resilience to withstand pressure and to retaliate if attacked.
01:52All this comes as U.S. forces expand their presence in the Middle East and nuclear negotiations remain fragile.
01:59Washington says it wants a deal, but insists Iran must never obtain nuclear weapons.
02:06Tehran counters that it will not negotiate under threats.
02:10Between those positions lies a dangerous gap, one now filled with psychological signaling, digital propaganda and escalating rhetoric.
02:19Whether this digital escalation stays symbolic or becomes a prelude to real confrontation may depend on what happens next at
02:28the negotiating table and on how both sides interpret each other's signals.
