As their bought and paid for goons/proxies rampage through the streets of Iran And yes, I’m certain that is the case.

President Trump said on Friday that the United States would come to the aid of protesters in Iran if the government there used lethal force against them, in a sharp escalation of remarks after days of widespread demonstrations against the Iranian government.
It appears some AI images have been making the rounds. Some of the other protest images I’ve seen are curious, very reminiscent of the type of protesting that had come out of Syria in the early days- Where protestors would be shown protesting in a circular formation or around a city block and then photographed to make the march seem endless-
The peaceful protestors have set fires to cars, of course
BBC quickly changed their original headline to manage perception, but, it doesn’t change the fact that AI generated imagery is being passed off as legitimate
Analysing AI-manipulated image of Iran protests
One picture shared yesterday by the Israeli foreign ministry’s Persian-language account on X appears to show a police officer spraying water at two men standing close by. Google’s SynthID AI-watermark detector said the image was generated or edited using Google AI.
We’ve contacted the Israeli foreign ministry for comment.
BBC Verify has been checking footage posted online of the protests taking place across Iran where at least six people have been killed. We’re continuing to work with BBC Persian to monitor and verify videos showing the unrest that has spread across the country.
Among the real images being shared we’re also seeing footage that has been faked or enhanced using artificial intelligence. Some of these images are being shared widely – we’ll bring you more on how we’re checking for signs of AI use as part of our verification work.
So, the Israeli foreign ministry is putting out false images to promote the protest! I’m shocked, not!
The Shah’s son, fully supported and endorsed by Israel is out in full force-
Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi also continued to encourage the Iranian people on day six of the protests in a post on Twitter/X.
“You are making history; a history written with the courage, solidarity, and determination of a nation to reclaim its country,” Pahlavi said in his post. “Stay united. Stay focused on the goal. Victory is ours.”
As is Ben Gvir
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also posted in support of the protestors, saying that “the people of Iran deserve a free life, liberated from the killer dictator, Khamenei.”
No one is buying Trump’s humanitarian rhetoric
Trump tries to present his remarks in the form of supporting the people, but a closer look shows that this approach is an extension of the same logic of US interventionism in different parts of the world. Recent history shows a lot of examples of the US entering countries claiming to “support the people” and the result has not been an improvement in the well-being of the other nations, rather it has led to the widespread destruction and killing of civilians. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria are just a few examples; countries that, after direct or indirect US intervention, distanced themselves from stability and experienced deep humanitarian crises.
The use of expressions such as “preparedness for action” and “decisive response” by a senior American official, even if they are ostensibly accompanied by human rights terminology, has a clear political message: threatening a sovereign state. This type of rhetoric contradicts Article 2, paragraph 4 of the UN Charter, which prohibits any threat or use of force against other nations’ sovereignty. History shows that the United States has in many cases interpreted these principles based on its political interests, which has rendered its human rights claims invalid.
We’re supposed to believe this move on Iran is about humanitarianism when just the other day is was about Iran recovering? Maybe if your naive?
