Iran’s Chilling New Video : Inside the IRGC’s Simulated Attack on Trump’s Armada
Amidst surging regional tensions, the IRGC has released an AI generated propaganda video depicting the destruction of the USS Abraham Lincoln, claiming that Iranian submarines and hypersonic missiles are already positioned for a fatal strike.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has significantly escalated its psychological warfare campaign against the United States by releasing a high tech, AI generated propaganda video that depicts a catastrophic attack on the USS Abraham Lincoln. The dramatized footage, released by the Islamic Ideology Dissemination Organization, purports to show the American carrier strike group being decimated by a combination of hypersonic missiles and hidden submarine forces. This digital display of aggression arrives as the nuclear powered carrier enters the Arabian Sea, serving as the flagship for President Trump’s "massive armada" currently stationed near Iranian waters. While U.S. defense officials dismiss such videos as mere theater, the Iranian regime is using the footage to signal that every American asset in the region is now an accessible target.
The Simulation of Destruction
The seven minute video begins with cinematic drone shots of the USS Abraham Lincoln operating at sea before cutting to a simulated launch of the Fattah hypersonic missile from the Iranian mainland. In the AI generated sequence, the missile is shown splitting the massive carrier cleanly in two, sending F-35 fighter jets and crew members into a fiery sea. The propaganda piece emphasizes that this is not a random attack but a calculated response to American military pressure. The imagery is designed to look as realistic as possible, featuring missiles ripping through thick steel hull plating and massive secondary explosions that suggest the total loss of the vessel and its personnel.
Beyond the aerial threat, the video makes the bold claim that Iranian submarines are already lurking in the vicinity of the carrier strike group. According to the narration and accompanying text, these underwater assets are "ready with missiles waiting" to finish off any ships that survive an initial missile barrage. Iranian commanders have used the release to boast about their "coercive deterrence," suggesting that their solid-fueled and hypersonic systems are capable of evading the advanced Aegis missile defenses that protect the Lincoln and its escort destroyers.
A Backdrop of Real-World Escalation
The release of this digital fantasy coincides with very real and dangerous encounters in the Arabian Sea. Just days ago, U.S. Central Command confirmed that an American fighter jet shot down an Iranian Shahed drone that was approaching the USS Abraham Lincoln with "unclear intent." This physical confrontation, combined with the harassment of a U.S. flagged merchant vessel by IRGC gunboats in the Strait of Hormuz, has pushed the region to the brink of an all-out war. The Iranian media has framed these events as proof of American vulnerability, with hardline outlets stating that the "Axis of Resistance" from Yemen to Lebanon is on full alert.
As Prime Minister Netanyahu prepares to meet with President Trump this Wednesday, the rhetoric from Tehran remains unyielding. The regime is leveraging these AI videos to convince its domestic audience and regional proxies that it can win a high intensity naval war. While military analysts point out that the USS Abraham Lincoln is protected by a multi-layered shield of interceptors and electronic warfare systems, Tehran’s propaganda is focused on the message that the age of American naval supremacy in the Middle East is over. The video concludes with a stark warning that any "stupid" move by the U.S. will result in the simulation becoming a reality.
