Overview

  • Israel Defense Forces launched early-morning airstrikes on June 13 targeting Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites and senior military personnel.
  • The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps responded by dispatching more than 100 drones toward Israeli territory without any confirmed missile launches.
  • A viral TikTok video claiming to show the new strikes was found to be entirely AI-generated and unrelated to the conflict.
  • Footage shared online of missile barrages was traced back to October 2024, when Iran targeted Israel’s Nevatim airbase.
  • An image purportedly showing Iran firing missiles was shown to originate from a 2021 IRGC military exercise rather than recent hostilities.
