Content satirizing U.S. President Donald Trump's secret operation last month, where he covertly switched from Air Force One to a military aircraft to evade reporters, is spreading online. Iranian authorities and local media are even using it as evidence that the United States is afraid of Iran, leveraging it for a large-scale propaganda campaign.

Reporter Yu Deok-gi has the details.

Following reports that Trump secretly used a catering truck to get off Air Force One and switch to a military aircraft after last month's NATO summit due to alleged assassination threats from Iran, AI-generated videos and images mocking the incident are rapidly spreading on social media.

Several Iranian embassies also posted mocking photos and videos juxtaposing Trump's image of raising his fist while bleeding after an assassination attempt during his re-election campaign with the satire of his catering truck escape.

One Iranian media outlet claimed that Trump fled cowardly out of fear of Iran.

Iran is standing up to the United States by blockading the Strait of Hormuz while tightening negotiation terms, such as demanding compensation for war damages and the lifting of economic sanctions.

They are actively utilizing the controversy surrounding Trump's secret transfer operation as a propaganda tool to claim victory in the war and rally domestic public opinion.
