Amid the war in the Middle East, Iran released this Tuesday (2) a video made with artificial intelligence that shows a fight between Christ the Redeemer and the Statue of Liberty.
The content was published by the Iranian Embassy in Tunisia on X (formerly Twitter), with the caption: “One front. One fight.” In a separate post, the official profile also wrote: “The victory of faith over imperialism”.
In the images, the Statue of Liberty walks towards Christ, on Corcovado, and the two monuments start a fight. Christ appears throwing punches at the North American statue, resisting attempts to hit him and, in the end, throwing it down the hill, before returning to his original position, with his arms open.
The publication generated a series of comments from Brazilian X users. Most of them are jokes and memes, but there are also messages of support for Iran and criticism of the United States.
The video adds to a series of propaganda pieces — videos and images — that the Iranian government has been publishing on social media to portray disputes with the United States, amid tensions between the two countries and diplomatic efforts to reach an agreement.
In recent weeks, negotiations have been hampered by Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, considered unacceptable by Iranian representatives. For Tehran, any peace agreement must apply to everyone involved in the conflict.
Continues after advertising
This time, Iran’s publication also occurs on the same day that the government of United States President Donald Trump threatens to impose new 25% trade tariffs on Brazilian products.
