Whether it be from official government sources or through citizens caught up in the conflict, there's been plenty of footage circulating online of the events happening in the Middle East following the US and Israel's military action against Iran. The White House even recently published a video montage of air strikes and warship sinkings, bizarrely laced with references to the Call of Duty games. However, one widely circulated piece of footage, which posters claim shows an American ship taking down an Iranian fighter jet, has been debunked. Was it footage from another conflict dishonestly reused? No. Was it AI-generated? Nope. It appears it was simply gameplay from War Thunder.
