CNN's chief international correspondent, Clarissa Ward, has criticized the White House for using pop culture-laden memes to downplay the impact of its deadly war on Iran. She accused the administration of displaying a "staggering lack of humility" in relation to the situation. The White House has shared several videos featuring real footage of U.S. strikes on Iran and clips from popular video game series Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto. The Iran war has already cost at least seven U.,S. military service members their lives and killed over 1,200 Iranians.
