Breaking! This is the footage of the bombing of Iran's Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities! Trump has provoked Iran by attacking it! And Trump wants Iran to maintain peace!

Publisher’s rating: false

Related reporting says U.S. strikes hit Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites on June 22, 2025; it does not establish whether the footage in the claim shows those strikes. One report quotes Trump saying, “My preference is to solve this through diplomacy,” but that alone does not establish his broader intentions about peace with Iran.

Footage circulating on TikTok and YouTube on Monday morning claims to show an American B-2 stealth bomber being shot down over Iran during the US bombing raid on the Iranian nuclear facility at Fordo over the weekend. The video accrued over 70,000 views on a TikTok channel that has posted a dozen other clearly AI-generated videos before being deleted.

Publisher’s rating: False Both the footage and the claim are fake. Aside from the fact that the Pentagon officially confirmed on Sunday that all seven B-2s and their crews had returned safely, with major international news outlets including the BBC, CBS and The Associated Press carrying footage of their return, there are several aspects of the social media video which reveal it to be manipulated. A reverse image search for various screenshots revealed that the same footage had earlier been uploaded to a YouTube channel along with the claim: "Iran shoots down US B-2 plane." A disclaimer, points out that the content is "altered or synthetic." Other reverse image search results lead to a different video in which the zig-zagging flightpath taken by an anti-aircraft missile appears to be identical to that taken by the missile in the original video. This video featured a disclaimer pointing out: "This video is gaming footage, just for fun." Indeed, a closer look at the original frames suggests that the air-defense system firing the missile is positioned on animated terrain and in a landscape which doesn't reflect the reality of what we know about the raid on Fordo. That raid took place in a mountainous location, not a grassy field, in the middle of the night, local time, not during daylight.

Several videos have also been circulating on social media claiming to show the US strikes on Fordo or their aftermath, including here (1.5m views).

Publisher’s rating: False The video is real but has been taken out of context, and actually shows the aftermath of Israeli airstrikes on an oil depot in Shahran on the northern edge of Tehran earlier in June. The facility can be geolocated using the two large pylons visible both in the video and on Google Earth. Furthermore, given the nature of the strike using 13,000-kilogram (30,000-pound) GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bombs, which are designed to penetrate up to 18 meters into concrete or 61 meters into normal earth before exploding on a delayed fuse, it is unlikely that a major explosion such as those depicted in the videos would even have been visible, even if there was footage.

Hrvatska u krizi jer su građani otkrili da su zapravo Srbi (prevedeno s engleskog).

Publisher’s rating: Netočno, Satira

The review says the viral Instagram video was satire, using deepfake-generated people and exaggerated stories about discovering they were Serbian. It reports that the post’s profile was known for identity provocations and internet irony, and that the claim was unsupported by credible sources.
