In the international sphere, Iran is recognized as a leading state sponsor of Islamic terrorism. However, it has now garnered attention for something different. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) uncovered a video from 2022 posted on the Iranian Ayatollah’s website that supposedly outlines an imaginary attack on former US President Donald Trump.

The real news reveals that despite the perceived intent behind this video, its quality is surprisingly low and rather reminiscent of a late ’90s computer game. It illustrates some form of military operation targeting former US President Donald Trump which many believe to be Iran’s response to the elimination of Qasem Soleimani, ordered by Trump during his presidency.

Even though it seems eerily unnerving at first blush, one must note that if Iran planned an actual assault on the ex-President – which cannot be entirely ruled out – they would not likely announce it through a crudely executed video like this one. An American teenager armed with an iPad could potentially produce better content.

Despite their clumsy attempt at disseminating fear, Iran perceives Donald Trump as real threat according to credible reports indicating possible plans by Iranians to neutralize him.

On reflection, while the disquieting nature of this video grabs our immediate attention, it soon becomes clear that there is little substance beneath the surface sensationalist veneer. This does not discount Iran’s potential ill intentions towards Trump or even the United States as a whole. The focus should prevail more on their probable actions rather than on what they publicize as mass propaganda for interior consumption.

Given Iran’s alleged menacing stance towards significant American political figures such as Donald Trump, one must wonder how they would execute such an attack in actuality and not through erroneous digital campaigns such as these. It’s vital these considerations are taken seriously by security services in charge of ensuring national safety.
