Iran uses memes, LEGO stunt in info war

The Guardian reports that Iran has seized the initiative in the digital information war against the United States, using humor, memes, and AI-generated content instead of traditional propaganda. Tehran is said to be dominating social media, with government accounts actively publishing content that mocks the United States. For example, Iran’s embassy in Thailand posted a LEGO-style meme following reports of a downed American fighter jet. This strategy is part of a broader effort to outperform the U.S. in the information domain through viral content.
