YouTube close to Iran shuts down channel for mocking Trump!
Published: 03:42 15 April 2026
YouTube has sparked a new controversy over a video mocking former US President Donald Trump. Tehran has reacted strongly to the closure of a pro-Iran group's account.
It is reported that a group called 'Explosive Media' released a video last week made using Lego-style artificial intelligence (AI) technology, mocking Trump and conveying the message 'Iran has won'. After the video went viral on social media, the platform removed it and suspended the group's YouTube account.
The group claims that their account was shut down for 'violent content' or inciting violence. However, they expressed surprise and questioned - how violent their Lego-style animation can be. In addition, they said that their activities on other social media platforms, including X, are still ongoing.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran has reacted strongly to the incident. In a statement, a spokesperson for the organization alleged that this step was taken to hide the role of the United States and Israel in anti-Iran activities.
In all, these three issues - content control on digital platforms, freedom of expression, and the tensions of international politics - have once again come up for discussion.
