On X, accounts focused on the Iran war shared a video of a supposed U.S. service member crying, with smoke rising and a vehicle stalled in the background.
“An American soldier cries intensely and says: We are tired… we didn’t want this and we didn’t choose it. I just want to go home,” an April 4 X post read. ” I don’t want this war… I want peace.”
“I really, I really miss home. I miss my family every single day,” the woman in the video appeared to say. “But I’m still here, serving my country.”
Other X accounts also shared the video, as did accounts on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. One X post gained 4.4 million views.
But it’s a fake clip made with artificial intelligence.
