Fake Iran war videos and AI clips explode on X amid misinformation surge.

Factcheck: No evidence supports the claim of China secretly supplying 50 CM-302 missiles to Iran, or Iran launching any that failed/intercepted by US Navy. Reuters (Feb 24) reported Iran nearing a purchase deal—no delivery confirmed. China’s Foreign Ministry called it untrue/disinfo (Mar 2+). In the current US-Iran conflict, Iran’s strikes use other missiles/drones (e.g., Qadr, Talaieh). US CENTCOM reports no hits on its ships; Iranian claims unverified. The attached video is a meme, not footage.

The video is from fire of USS Bonhome Richard at San Diego, 2020

Factcheck: No, this claim isn’t verified. No official Iranian state media (IRNA, PressTV), Pezeshkian speeches, or major outlets like Reuters/Al Jazeera/Times of Israel report him saying Iran exhausted “old missiles” to reveal “real technology” with Khorramshahr-4/Kheibar Shekan-4. It’s spreading on social media amid the conflict, but reports show Iran’s missile launches have dropped 80-86% due to destroyed launchers—not a strategic upgrade. Iran has advanced ballistic missiles (some solid-fuel, long-range), but no confirmed new “more powerful” phase post-stockpile exhaustion. Likely propaganda.
