• The Iran-Israel-US conflict has triggered a massive wave of misinformation and fake news across social media platforms.
• Viral claims debunked include an Israeli jet being shot down, a US radar in Qatar destroyed, and an Israeli nuclear plant struck, all proven false or AI-generated.
• A photo of a UK minister holding a minute's silence for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was miscaptioned and taken in 2024, not related to his alleged death.
