Trump claims Iran using AI as 'disinformation weapon,' coordinated with US media outlets
Published on March 16, 2026.
US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of using artificial intelligence as a "disinformation weapon" to misrepresent its wartime successes and support. This comes amid tensions between the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and broadcasters over media coverage of the US and Israel's war with Iran. Trump accused Western media outlets of having "close coordination" with Iran to spread AI-generated "fake news". He also claimed that images showing "250,000" Iranians at a rally supporting new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei were "totally AI generated" and that the event never occurred.
