An AI-generated video depicting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu being captured after a simulated Iranian strike is circulating online, highlighting the growing role of digital propaganda in modern conflicts. Though fake, analysts say such content is meant to shape perceptions, intimidate adversaries, and project psychological strength rather than convey real events.

The video reflects a broader shift toward information warfare, where narratives, visuals, and online influence are used alongside traditional military tools. Experts warn these tactics can inflame tensions, spread misinformation, and manipulate public sentiment, showing how geopolitical rivalry increasingly extends into cyberspace and the battle for perception.

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.
