In a bizarre animated propaganda video, Iranian state TV portrays a cartoonish takedown of Israel and the U.S., featuring Trump and Netanyahu scheming with a devil, Iranian missiles leveling Israeli cities
On June 24, 2025, Channel 3 (Iran) aired an animated Lego-style video recapping the Iran–Israel war that began on June 13. In the video, a devil-like figure sits at a table with Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, plotting an attack on Iran’s Isfahan Military Complex. In response, the Iranian public floods the streets, and Iran launches missiles at an Israeli city.
Netanyahu is shown becoming enraged and calling Trump, while Jews are depicted fleeing missile strikes and sheltering in bomb shelters. The animation continues with Iran downing an Israeli aircraft and launching further strikes that destroy high-rise buildings, a port, and an air force base in Israel. An Iranian female newscaster is shown delivering a fiery speech as additional missiles are launched from Iran.
The video ends with crowds in Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and the Palestinian territories celebrating.
A closing message appears in Hebrew, Persian, Arabic, and English: “We are the ones who control the game.”
The animation is set to the theme music of the Israeli TV spy thriller Tehran.
