Iran's Mehr news agency published a LEGO-style AI video in response to threatening social-media posts by U.S. President Donald Trump. The clip shows a LEGO American soldier crawling from a crashed helicopter while struggling in extreme heat, then cuts to an Iranian soldier drinking tea. On-screen text tells the American, "Too hot for you, wimp. Go back to your air conditioning." Mehr's accompanying post says Kharg Island is too hot for people who are not from the island and tells them to return to their own island.
