Trump Claims Iran's Military Victories Are AI-Generated, Denies Damage to USS Abraham Lincoln

Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that the Islamic Republic is losing and the "only victories" it achieves are in videos that, according to him, are made using artificial intelligence. He claimed that published images of burning buildings and ships are not real and are "AI-generated fake news." Trump also stated that Tehran has published videos of "kamikaze" boats attacking ships at sea, but according to him, such boats do not actually exist and these images were created to portray the "stubbornness" of a defeated military force. The US President also called reports about five American refueling aircraft being targeted false, emphasizing that all those aircraft are still in service — except one, which he said will soon return to flight. He also dismissed published images of fire aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier as fabricated, saying the carrier was neither targeted nor damaged.
