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