A video circulating on social media supposedly shows guests on an Israeli talk show fleeing the studio as sirens went off during an alleged Iranian missile attack.

 

Several leading Urdu news outlets reported the incident as real. Social media users also shared the video widely.

 

However, is the video real?

 

The video was initially shared on مجنون إكس account X on Wednesday, June 18, with a caption that read: “There was a discussion on Israeli TV about teaching Iran the worst lesson, when sirens went off due to Iranian missiles and the four left the program and ran away (sic).”

 

Investigation

 

The Current investigated the video widely shared on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter).

 

A close review of the nine-second video reveals that it was generated using Artificial Intelligence (AI), and is therefore fake.

 

The Current noticed a number of unusual elements and inconsistencies in the video. For instance, two female guests react even before the sirens actually go off.

 

A closer examination also shows that one guest’s lip movements do not match the audio, a common sign of AI-generated content. The way the guests run also appears unnatural and unrealistic.

 

Conclusion: The video is fake and was created using AI tools.
