Viral video doesnt show Israel strike on Iran

A video showing various scenes of destruction wasn’t taken during a recent attack on Iran. It’s a compilation of videos posted online before the April 19 strike.

In the early morning hours of April 19, an apparent Israeli airstrike targeted a major air base and nuclear site in Iran. The strike came nearly a week after Iran’s defense forces sent a barrage of drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles toward Israel.

“Live now Israel’s response to [Iranian flag emoji],” text on top of the video says.

The roughly one-minute video shows a handful of different clips. Some of the clips show large-scale explosions. Others are more subtle, like one clip that shows smoke billowing in the distance.

Some people in the comments have claimed the dramatic scenes are not from Iran.
