A new AI‑generated, Lego‑style animation depicting the dramatic rescue of a US airman whose fighter jet was downed over Iranian territory has gone viral. The two‑minute clip, shared on Monday by pro‑Iran channel Explosive Media on their X account, has prompted wide praise online.

Explosive Media, an independent Iranian channel producing AI Lego animations targeting Western audiences and political figures, claims to be the “grassroots creators behind the Lego animations breaking the media silence".

The latest video, captioned, “In 48 hours, You learned the truth: Everything for Epstein’s pleasure Soldiers thrown in the trash. Black Friday!", presents the US mission as depicted by the Iranian regime, combining full-on action-packed storytelling with Lego-style animation.

The video attracted widespread attention within hours of being posted, with many praising it as Oscar-worthy and lauding its cinematic portrayal.

One wrote: “New Iranian LEGO movie just dropped another top level trolling and expose." Another commented: “You learn more from these Lego movies in 2 mins than western news will give you in 24 hours. Excellent!"

Several others added: “I’ve already said this, give Iran the Oscar for the best short animation videos" and “Can you make one with Game of Thrones theme song?"

Some users also raised concerns, pointing out the mix of humour and real-life tragedy: “Do you imply they left soldiers there? I enjoy the clips but just to make it clear: in no way do I support the iranian regime. Neither do I support the trump regime. It’s always the people who suffer and I want somebody to explain how this helps the Iranian people?"

Others questioned the reality behind the animation: “Good grief! Has anyone actually watched this vid and realized what they are saying really took place?"
