Hawzah News Agency- Foreign Policy magazine published an analysis by Peter Benzoni, a senior research manager at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, stating: "If you want to understand the future of propaganda, stop reading serious-minded reports about Russia and start watching Iranian Lego diss rap videos.
That success is made more remarkable by the fact that the White House is playing (and losing) the same game. The Trump administration churns out its own AI slop, its own combative memes, its own shitposts. None of it lands. This kind of propaganda works best when it’s punching up, and you’re not punching up when you’re the one dropping the bombs.
The most effective war propaganda piece of 2026, according to the analysis, is a Lego cartoon. The AI-generated short video shows a panicking Lego Donald Trump reading through a folder marked "Epstein File." Egged on by a cackling Lego Benjamin Netanyahu and a literal Satan, Trump launches a missile that hits a girls' school.
The dozen-plus Lego videos that followed made powerful use of the Minab school strike, where a US missile attack killed more than 100 civilians — primarily schoolgirls.
