The cartoon depicts devastating Iranian retaliation against the American and Israeli military after a deadly strike on the Minab girls’ school
Iranian media have shared a Lego-style video touting Tehran’s purported retaliation against the US and Israel, depicting the American and Israeli leadership in a panic.
The animation, dubbed ‘Narrative of Victory,’ was widely circulated online on Sunday. It opens with a cartoonish figure of US President Donald Trump – accompanied by the Devil – reading the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The US president is then shown going haywire and ordering strikes on Iran, apparently implying that the attack was meant to distract everyone from a domestic scandal involving the late sex offender’s ties with American elites.
The video then depicts an attack on an Iranian girls’ school in Minab, which left more than 170 people dead, with a vengeful Iranian soldier examining the ruins and getting ready for retaliation. Tehran has blamed the attack on Israel and the US, while Trump has claimed the destruction was caused by Iran itself.
The clip goes on to depict waves of Iranian missile and drone strikes, including attacks on a UK airbase in Cyprus, multiple targets in Israel, and sites across the Gulf region. As the devastation spreads, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is shown fleeing, oil traders panic, and Iranian drones destroy a US aircraft carrier. One of the final scenes shows a US military transport plane unloading a coffin draped in the American flag.
The release came days after the White House posted its own PR video on X. The clip opened with a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas meme showing protagonist CJ saying “Ah sh*t, here we go again,” before cutting to footage of US strikes on Iran, each hit overlaid with the game’s “wasted” screen that appears when the character dies.
This is not the first time Iranian media have used Lego-style animations in their messaging. In June 2025, during the 12-day war with Israel and the US, a similar video depicted Tehran’s response to strikes on the Isfahan nuclear facility as a victory.
That clip showed Trump and Netanyahu standing beside a devil figure before Iranian missiles hit Israeli targets, ending with the line: “We are the ones who control the game.”
