Irans Lego Videos Win Narrative War Against Former US President Trump

Here’s a rewritten version of the article in a neutral newsroom style:

A viral social media trend has emerged from Iranian creators, featuring high-quality animations created with Lego-like brick figures and blocks. The videos have garnered significant attention worldwide, highlighting various victims of US politics and global conflicts.

The latest video, released on March 29, showcases a range of individuals who have been affected by the United States government, including Black Americans in chains, survivors of Abu Ghraib prison complex, and victims of US war and abuses in Afghanistan, Vietnam, and Iraq. The animation also includes references to Iranian Air flight 655, which was brought down by US missiles in 1988, killing all 290 people on board.

The video ends with giant statues of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu collapsing, accompanied by the message “ONE VENGEANCE FOR ALL.” This trend is part of a broader effort by Iranian-based groups to create viral content using Lego-like brick animations, which have been viewed millions of times across various social media platforms.

Explosive Media, one of the groups behind this trend, has seen its YouTube account deleted due to concerns over promoting violence. However, the group’s representative claims that their content is not violent and that they are simply highlighting the truth about US policies.

The videos have been created using bespoke lyrics and rap beats, often incorporating Trump’s own words to accuse him of hypocrisy and pandering to Israel’s interests rather than America’s. The green and red colors featured in the animation are symbolic, representing Shia-Muslim traditions and opposing forces.

Other videos have used phrases like “Epstein regime” and depicted Trump’s supporters wearing brick red hats with MAGA on them. These animations aim to address various audiences, including the Lebanese people, and showcase different perspectives on US politics and global conflicts.
