Iranian government-linked “Explosive Media” has released a controversial AI-generated video depicting the death of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham using Lego-style animation. The video, which has drawn widespread condemnation, features a cryptic message with the letters “KT,” interpreted by some as a threat towards former President Donald Trump. The release of this video comes amidst ongoing U.S.-Iran hostilities, part of a broader propaganda campaign by Iran during the 2026 Iran War, which began following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2026.
