Iranian Embassy in Thailand Releases Animated Retaliation Video
The Iranian embassy in Thailand recently released an 84-second animated video in a Lego-style format. The video depicts a scenario of Iran retaliating against a US missile strike on a girls' school, an apparent reference to a reported past incident.

This release follows a previous animated video disseminated by Iranian state media earlier in the month.
Details of the Latest Animated Video
The 84-second animated video, released by the Iranian embassy in Thailand, was presented in a Lego-style. It portrays Iran undertaking retaliatory actions following a US missile strike on a girls' school.
This imagery is an apparent reference to a reported US action that impacted the Shajereh Tayyebeh elementary school in southern Iran during the initial phase of a conflict, which reportedly resulted in 165 fatalities.
The video concludes with animated bombs shown descending on cities characterized as American. It also features animated caricatures of Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump, depicted as crying in a situation room. These figures are accompanied by a US serviceman and a horned figure identified as Baal.
A Pattern of Animated Content
This recent release is part of a broader pattern of similar animated content previously distributed by Iranian state media. Earlier in the current month, another Lego-style animated video was shared.
That video featured caricatures of Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Satan. In this previous animation, these figures were depicted reviewing documents identified as the "Epstein files." The video concluded with a caricature of Trump shown activating a red button to launch missiles, which were also directed at a school.
