Iran has trolled President Donald Trump by releasing an AI-generated propaganda video that mocks the Jeffrey Epstein files scandal that has dogged his administration.
The Islamic regime shared the two-minute video this week depicting Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as Lego figurines amid the joint U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign on Iran.
It comes as some of Trump’s fiercest critics have accused the president of “risking world war” to distract from the Epstein files fiasco.
In the bizarre video, posted by Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, Trump and Netanyahu stood beside a Lego Satan and looked over a folder titled: “Jeffrey Epstein File.”
An Epstein-figure in an orange prison jumpsuit was pictured in the file next to a grey-haired Lego character.
The Lego figure of Netanyahu then laughed over Trump’s shoulder, whose expression changed to one of anger after looking at the file.
Incensed by what he had seen in the “Epstein files” the Trump figure then pushed a big red button to launch a U.S. missile.
In the video, the U.S. missile struck a girls’ school, which appeared to be a reference to the elementary school in Minab, southern Iran, where 175 schoolgirls and staff were killed on the first day of the war. That incident remains under investigation on the source of the attack.
The clip cut to a classroom before fading to black, and showed rubble from the explosion. A Lego Iranian soldier was seen holding a child’s pink backpack among the ruins.
The propaganda video heavily implies that the U.S. was responsible for the deadly missile strike.
At a press conference Tuesday, Trump refused to take blame for a Tomahawk missile, which investigators believe was likely fired by U.S. forces that struck the school. Video obtained by The New York Times and other outlets shows the apparently American strike hitting a Revolutionary Guard Corps naval base and the school building next to it.
The video goes on to depict the Iranians taking revenge for the strike by launching attacks in Tel Aviv, on British forces in Cyprus and targeting U.S. vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

The Independent has contacted Lego for comment.
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Republican Rep. Thomas Massie were among those accusing the president of launching a fresh conflict in the Middle East to distract from Epstein.
“He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. There was no exit and no endgame for either of these situations. It led to increased global instability everywhere he goes,” Ocasio-Cortez told MeidasTouch last week.
“And every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike or a revelation in what is happening with the Epstein files. I don’t think that that coincidence is something to dismiss off the cuff. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.”
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, the Kentucky congressman who spearheaded legislation to release the documents, also said that bombing Iran “won’t make the Epstein files go away.”
Saturday Night Live also took a swipe at Trump, with James Austin Johnson parodying the president’s Truth Social video in which he first announced Operation Epic Fury. “War, what is it good for? Distracting from the Epstein files!” Johnson said.
The saga refuses to die down. Most recently, a new statue depicting Trump and the late sex offender recreating a scene from The Titanic appeared Tuesday on D.C.’s National Mall near the U.S. Capitol.
The large sculpture — titled “King of the World” — is a nod to the famous moment from the 1997 blockbuster The Titanic, when the film’s protagonists stand together at the prow of the doomed ship.
“The tragic love story between Jack and Rose was built on luxurious travel, raucous parties and secret nude sketches,” a plaque at the base of the installation states. “This monument honors the bond between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.”
