Posts that have appeared in recent days on the official social media accounts of the White House have sparked numerous criticisms over the way they portray the war in Iran.

In short video clips, war scenes are edited together with inserts from video games, Hollywood films, and sports events, creating a visual collage considered inappropriate for communication about real armed conflicts.

Critics warn that such an approach blurs the line between reality and entertainment. War, in which civilians are killed, is presented through the aesthetics of popular culture which, according to many analysts, diminishes the gravity of the tragedy and relativizes human suffering.

It is particularly problematic that such messages come from official accounts of state institutions. Unlike informal or private content on the internet, government communication carries a certain weight and symbolism. When war is presented in this context through the lens of spectacle, the question arises about the limits of political propaganda and public responsibility.

In the era of artificial intelligence and mass media, when fake and real war footage and information spread at enormous speed, the responsibility of institutions becomes even greater. The public expects a serious, informative, and dignified tone when it comes to events that have real human consequences.

At the same time, this style opens a broader issue regarding the way modern governments use social media. The line between informing the public, political marketing, and propaganda is becoming increasingly unclear, especially in crisis situations.

Comments on social media largely condemn the controversial clips, although there are also those who react positively to the war propaganda of the administration of Donald Trump.

Iran responded with its own clips, and some of them can be seen below.
