This video, viewed more than 1 million times on X, and also shared on other platforms such as Instagram and Facebook, allegedly shows a missile hitting a building in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Publisher’s rating: Fake
DW says the video does not show a missile attack in Tel Aviv and is AI-generated. It cites antennas collapsing before the missile makes contact and a building toppling in a physically unrealistic way.

Publisher’s rating: مولد بالذكاء الاصطناعي
So a police jeep caused this accident. Look at the speed he is reversing on a national highway No basic common sense with a large number of people travelling on a straight road. Why was the police jeep reversing unnecessarily? It feels like a deliberately caused incident to demean Vijay's reputation
Publisher’s rating: misleding
"Dubai Airport out of service. Iranian Missiles ripped it apart," a post on X claimed, sharing a video with a burning aircraft and terminal, while smoke is engulfing the building. It's been widely shared on social media, also on other platforms.
Publisher’s rating: Fake
DW rates the video claim false, saying the clip appears AI-generated. It points to visual and audio inconsistencies, including an extra wing on the aircraft and smoke that looks unnatural.
The video shows the funeral scenes of Ayatollah Khamenei.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
FACTLY reports that the video shows the January 2026 funeral of Shia cleric Sayyed Hadi al-Sistani in Karbala, not Khamenei’s funeral. It says the same visuals had been posted on January 19, 2026, before Khamenei’s death. [S1]

イスラエルの原子力発電所をイランのミサイルが破壊?
Publisher’s rating: 誤り
The review found that the video shared with the claim was filmed at a Ukrainian military ammunition depot in 2017, not at an Israeli nuclear power plant. It reports that distinctive features in the video match the footage in a 2017 news article and that, as of March 3, 2026, there was no information or reporting that an Israeli nuclear power plant had exploded.
Viral video shows Iran launching a strike on an Israeli nuclear power plant amid the recent Iran–Israel escalation.
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
FACTLY reports that the video shows a March 2017 fire at a military ammunition depot in Balakliya, Ukraine, and has no connection to the recent Iran–Israel tensions or an alleged strike on an Israeli nuclear facility. The review says it found no confirmation or credible news of an Iranian attack on a nuclear facility as of 02 March 2026.
Iran was “working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America.”
Publisher’s rating: Disputed
Viral images and videos show real moments and the aftermath of the February 2026 US-Israel strikes on Iran.
Publisher’s rating: Misleading
The review says viral posts used footage from unrelated events, including a 2024 missile barrage, a 2025 funeral and a 2011 ceremony, while an image purporting to show Khamenei’s body was AI-generated or edited. It also says a video claiming Iran destroyed the Burj Khalifa was misleading: the building was not hit or destroyed. The review notes that Iran did launch missile and drone attacks on 28 February 2026.
イランがミサイルで米国の空母を沈没させた?
Publisher’s rating: 誤り
The review says the video shared with the claim had appeared online by June 24, 2025, so it did not show Iran’s 2026 retaliation. It also reports that U.S. Central Command said Iranian missiles “did not come close” to the carrier.
After the June 2025 U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities, “they attempted to rebuild their nuclear program.”
Publisher’s rating: No Evidence
イランが攻撃したドバイのCIA本部?
Publisher’s rating: 誤り
The video shared as showing an Iranian attack on a CIA headquarters in Dubai actually depicts a 2015 fire at a high-rise residential building in Sharjah, UAE. The review says the building’s features and the location of the fire match footage posted in 2015.
