> As US-Iran hostilities intensify and strikes resume, misinformation is spreading online again. Old or unrelated footage from Dubai, Russia and the US has been misrepresented as new Iranian attacks on American bases in the Gulf, while a 68-year-old video of a US nuclear test was falsely presented as Iran detonating mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
