Publications of multiple users on social media and Facebook platforms from Monday shared videos that allegedly show the Iranian armed forces that thank Pakistan for their intelligence support against Israel. However, viral clips are generated by AI.
Israel launched large -scale air attacks against Iran’s nuclear facilities, military sites and private residences, killing the main commanders, scientists and hundreds of others on June 13. Both countries exchanged a wave after wave of devastating strikes and missile volleas since then. The fire was high on June 24 after 12 days of struggle.
On Monday, a pro-military account on Facebook shared a video of two soldiers allegedly recording a video in thanks to Pakistan.
“Our nuclear program is safe. Thank you, Pakistan, for protecting it with your intelligence support,” they said.
The publication was subtitled: “An Iranian soldier who thanks Pakistan, saying: Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
The publication obtained 1.4 million visits and 12,000 reactions.
The viral clip was also shared here, here, here, here and here, and in x here, here, here and here.
Another similar video went viral among social networks users on Wednesday, showing Iranian soldiers expressing their gratitude to Pakistan, as you can see here, here, here, here and here.
A verification of facts began to determine the veracity of the claim due to its high virality and its great public interest in diplomatic relations between Iran and Pakistan in the midst of the conflict with Israel.
An observation of the video revealed signs of content generated by AI, which includes a texture of the plastic skin, unnatural lip movements and fixed eyes without blinking throughout the viral clip.
Analyzing the video using tools to detect manipulation revealed that the modmena moderation assigned a 57 percent suspicion rating, Testiv.AI gave it a 30 -piece rating, while Deepware did not mark the content as a deep defake.
The viral clip also presented a logo I see in the lower right corner, a video model developed by Google Deepmind.
Looking at the username @isipakistan440 As visible in the clip, it produced a Tiktok account, with similar videos generated by AI with nationalist content.
As for the second video, an observation showed the same signs of content generated by AI.
Analyzing the video using the tool revealed that the modmena moderation assigned a classification of suspicion of 31 pieces, while Deepware did not mark the content as a deep defake.
I also presented a logo I see in the lower right corner.
An inverse image search yielded a Tiktok post on the account @waggyaiWith the same video posted on Monday.
@waggyyai #iran #palesten #unfreezemyacount #Fypppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp’s
As is evident from the name of the account, the user publicly publishes means generated by AI that explores geopolitical themes.
Therefore, the verification of facts determined that the statement that viral videos show the Iranian armed forces that thank Pakistan for the support of intelligence against Israel is FAKE. The videos are generated by AI.
Multiple claims
At the same time, Iverify Pakistan observed other statements about celebrations in Iran after the ceasefire. Here are more statements that were discredited by the platform.
– Image of Tehran’s celebrations – False
On Tuesday, a Pro-Iraní user shared an image of the Milad tower of Tehran in X, subtitled: “Tehran now … the Iranian capital is celebrating the great victory. It plays how and shares the photo.”
The publication was seen by more than 2.5 million people.
The same image was also shared in X by an Indian and film critic actor, where he obtained more than 88,000 visits.
Several other X users also shared the same statement that can be seen here, here, here, here, here and here, collectively obtaining more than 30,000 visits.
He also appeared on Facebook, receiving more than 1,000 reactions.
A reverse image search led to an Instagram post on the Lorestan_travel_Guide account, a self -denominated tourist guide, dated October 27, 2020. The publication presented the same image with the title: “The Milad tower, also known as Torre Tehran, is a tower of multiple posts in Tehran, I will The sixth such in the world.
In addition, the same image had previously been shared in September and November 2024.
Therefore, the statement that an image shows celebrations in Tehran after the high fire is FAKE. The image is not of recent celebrations and has been online since at least 2020.
– Tehran Rally thanking Pakistan – False
On Wednesday, a user X shared an eight -second clip that showed a large multitude of people gathered in a city street, seeing to be in a state of celebration or protest.
The legend in the publication said: “In today’s rally held in Tehran, young people hold the Pakistani flag and express their gratitude to Pakistan.”
The publication received 43,600 views.
“The same clip was shared by several other X users that are seen here, here and here, collectively accumulating 6,000 views.
The clip was also found in Tiktok.
Examining the viral clip reveals several inconsistencies. The walking style of the crowd seems unnaturally fast and sliding, giving the impression that people are being slid instead of walking naturally.
In the five -second brand, you can see people moving in different directions and passing strangely with each other. In addition, those who raise their hands while singing slogans show unusual hand movements, some hands visibly pass through the heads of others.
The presence of the water brand “I see” in the lower right corner indicates that the video was created using inputs generated by AI.
Examining the video using AI detection tools revealed that the hive moderation marked it with a probability of 99.9 percent of being generated by AI.
Therefore, the statement that a video shows the Iranians thanking Pakistan in a Tehran rally while carrying the flag is FAKE. The video is a deep defake.
This fact verification was originally published by Iverify Pakistan, a CEJ-IBA and UNDP project.
