The Iranian regime-backed "Explosive Media" Lego AI-generated propaganda channel published a video claiming that the regime was behind the death of US senator Lindsey Graham on Sunday.
The video, which was removed from the propaganda's X/Twitter page but remains on Telegram, where it is captioned "SUDDEN ILLNESS. Lindsey Graham is Dead! Iran Lego is ready :) Who's next?" and has been viewed by The Jerusalem Post, shows Graham at home, before being scared of a shadowy, cloaked figure, dying of a heart attack.
The video then shows Graham being taken away in an ambulance, before the medic is seen ticking the name "Lindsey" off a checklist. The name "Laura" appears next on the list.
American right-wing activist and self-described Zionist Laura Loomer wrote on X that she believes this is a death threat aimed at her.
According to Loomer, the propaganda channel also published a subsequent video titled "Bullseye Loomer," which she stated reinforces the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' death threats towards her. Loomer directly blames the IRGC as responsible for the production of the "Explosive Media" videos.
Meanwhile, the propaganda channel downplayed the effect of Loomer removing death threat videos from X, by writing on Telegram that "They removed this video after 1.9M views and locked our X account. But I don't think that's going to bring Lindsey back to life."
"Explosive Media" on Monday also threatened other pro-Trump and pro-Israel political commentators, including Mark Levin, Miriam Adelson, Randy Fine, and Ben Shapiro, creating Lego figures for each of them.
Propaganda channel operator admits Iran regime is 'client'
"Mr Explosive," who runs the propaganda outlet, spoke to the BBC during the height of operations Roaring Lion and Epic Fury, confirming that the "regime is a client."
A major motif of the channel's propaganda has been to blame Israel and the US for the strike on a girls' school in Minab that the regime claims killed 156.
The channel was banned by YouTube in April, a spokesperson for the video hosting site told Agence France-Presse at the time.
