The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-affiliated Tasnim News Agency shared a propaganda video using Lego characters and models on Tuesday, blaming Israel and the US for the strike on a girls' school in Minab, Iran, which it claims killed 178 people last week.
The video was created by the state-run Revayat-e Fath institute, according to the apparent watermark.
In the opening scene, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Devil are making US President Donald Trump look at a photo album, revealed to be titled "Jeffrey Epstein File."
Trump's character shows a strong emotional reaction and pushes a "red button," launching a missile with the US flag on it. The video cuts between the missile and a classroom in a girls' school, before cutting to black and showing rubble from the destruction and a backpack with girls' shoes in view.
An Iranian, wearing what appears to be an IRGC officer's uniform, is seen holding the backpack in the next frame and begins to cry. The officer then goes to a war room showing a map of Israel with targets marked on it, radar systems, and a picture of the killed supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with the girl's backpack sitting on the desk.
Iranian propaganda video shows strikes on Cyprus, UAE, Saudi Arabia in retaliation for Minab school
The officer pushes a red button, with the imagery cutting to missiles striking the "British Forces Cyprus" base, referring to the Royal Air Force's Akrotiri Air Force Base in southern Cyprus.
It then shows a US plane crash with people running in the street as buildings collapse around them.
The next image is of an Iranian drone hitting the Burj al-Arab hotel in Dubai, UAE, followed by a caricature of a haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Jew running while crying.
The propaganda video then shows a war room where an IRGC commander directs attacks towards Tel Aviv, before showing four mobile ballistic missile launchers driving down the highway.
Three IDF soldiers are then seen running away from an explosion, before Iranian drones are seen hitting the US Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with Arabs seen running away.
Heads of the various branches of the Iranian military are then seen holding a war room planning meeting, before sirens sound in Israel, with Israeli flags flying and people cowering. Netanyahu is then shown running along a rat-infested tunnel.
The video then shows an Iranian drone hitting a US base in Bahrain and an Iranian missile hitting a US base in Erbil, Iraq.
A naval control room is then seen ordering the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, before six naval gunboats are seen driving towards tankers in order to enforce the closure.
This, in turn, leads to stockbrokers having an emotional reaction to rising oil prices, and caricatured Arabs having an emotional reaction to cut oil sales.
Iran then targets Israel in missile attacks before showing explosions as missiles hit a building described in the propaganda video as "Ben Gurion Air Base," with the hits demolishing the airport's terminal building. It also shows missiles hitting a building labelled as "Netanyahu's Office," showing the Knesset.
Notably, all targets listed outside of Israel were subject to Iranian strikes, while no hits have been reported at either Ben-Gurion Airport, the Knesset, or the Prime Minister's Office.
Amid this, the video shows Iran downing Hermes and MQ-9 drones.
This is followed by the remains of a US soldier being taken off a US Air Force carrier.
An IRGC officer is then seen looking through binoculars at the shoreline, before Iranian drones hit a US Navy aircraft carrier.
At the end of the propaganda video, the same guard from the school at the start of the clip is then seen holding the school bag while standing next to a missile launcher, before the screen cuts to black and finishes with a caption: "In remembrance of the 178 students from Minab who were martyred at the hands of Zionist and American terrorists," written in both Farsi and English.
A similar video was published by an unspecified Israeli source in June during the Israel-Iran War that showed Mossad operatives within the Islamic Republic carrying out successful spy operations.
