This illustration photo created in Los Angeles on April 9, 2026 shows a Lego-style AI-generated war-themed video playing on a smartphone screen in front of a photo of US President Donald Trump and US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Shortly after news of a US-Iran ceasefire, an Iranian group released a new Lego-style video lampooning President Donald Trump and declaring "Iran won," the latest in a wave of war-themed AI-generated propaganda flooding the internet. Cartoonish video memes -- amplified by Iranian diplomatic missions and pro-Tehran accounts on social media -- are emerging as an effective tool in an intensifying information war, a phenomenon analysts have dubbed the "legofication" of war propaganda.
