Japanese media reveals images of Iran's oil facility explosions are AI-generated

On September 2, Japanese media outlet ABEMA News disclosed: On August 30, U.S. President Trump released images showing intense explosions at Iran's oil facilities; however, upon closer inspection, something seemed off...

On the 30th, President Trump posted a video on social media and commented: "Hormuz Island is reduced to ashes!" The footage shows Hormuz Island, an Iranian oil export hub, destroyed by explosion.

Responding to this post, the CEO of Iran's National Oil Company denounced it as "absurd" on an Iranian news website. Hormuz Island has not been attacked, and currently, oil-related facilities remain operational.
