• Spread of AI-generated videos online: Some videos circulating online that purport to show protests in Iran have been generated by AI, according to a US-based disinformation watchdog group. It identified seven AI-generated videos shared by both pro- and anti-government accounts, with some clips drawing as many as 3.5 million views. • Warnings against foreign intervention: Both Turkey and China’s foreign ministers warned against foreign intervention in Iran earlier today. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi added that Beijing could play a “constructive role” in deescalating tensions while Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Ankara’s priority was to avoid destabilization. The move comes as Trump is still weighing military action against Iran.
