White House Leverages Call of Duty Clips in Iran War Messaging, Triggering Propaganda Debate

The White House posted a clip from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III on its official X account to illustrate the U.S.-Iran conflict, drawing criticism over government use of video-game visuals for war messaging amid widespread online misinformation; observers note AI-generated and game-based images fueling disinformation, and X has warned it will sanction creators who post AI war content without clear labeling. The report also recalls earlier government use of Halo imagery in recruitment posts amid ongoing strikes and civilian casualties.
