The Israel Defense Forces has publicly cast doubt on the authenticity of a senior Iranian military spokesperson. In a post on its official X account, the IDF suggested that Ebrahim Zolfaghari, the spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, appears to be an AI product rather than a real human. The post asked the public for evidence of Zolfaghari appearing in interviews or on the battlefield, framing the query as an attempt to prove the figure is fictional. This unusual accusation directly challenges the credibility of official Iranian military communications.
