After the US and Israel attacked Iran, a video circulating online that has gained tens of thousands of views, claims to show the President of the United States saying that Pakistan has threatened to join the war and strike Israel.

The claim is false. The clip of Trump was created using artificial intelligence (AI).

Claim

On March 3, a user shared a 51-second video clip in which Trump can allegedly be heard saying: “Pakistan has warned Israel and the US, because Israel mistakenly said Pakistan is number two after Iran. Pakistan is fully alert with its air, land, and marine forces.”

He is further heard saying that Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif warned that if Israel attacks Iran again, Pakistan will destroy Israel.

“But here’s what I say: Pakistan should not do that,” Trump allegedly adds in the video. “Pakistan has no problem with us; their army is already on high alert. In my opinion, Pakistan should not get involved. This is Israel and Iran’s war. We need peace in the region.”

At the time of writing, the post had been viewed 77,900 times, liked 1,700 times, and reshared 604 times.

Similar claims have also been shared on Facebook, Threads and Instagram.

Fact

The viral video was generated using publicly available AI tools. Donald Trump did not make any such remarks about Pakistan recently.

Geo Fact Check conducted a reverse image search of keyframes from the video and traced the actual footage back to May 30, 2025, when Trump held a press conference with American businessman Elon Musk at the White House, long before the US launched a war with Iran this year.

The original footage is available on the official White House YouTube channel. In the 52-minute press conference, Donald Trump never mentions Pakistan’s defence minister. The only reference to Pakistan occurs at the 13:00-mark, where Trump thanks officials of India and Pakistan for ending their armed conflict in May.

Additionally, Hive Moderation, an AI-content detection platform, analysed the viral clip and gave it a 95.4% score, indicating that its audio was AI-generated.

Verdict: Donald Trump has not made any remarks about Pakistan, its military, or its defence minister since the US attacked Iran on February 28.

Three Tennessee plaintiffs, including two minors, sued Elon Musk’s xAI on Monday, alleging that it knowingly designed its Grok ​image generator to let people create sexually explicit content by ‌using real photos of others.

The lawsuit, filed in the San Jose, California federal court, is seeking class-action status for people in the United States who were “reasonably identifiable” ​in sexualised images or videos generated by Grok based on ​real images of themselves.

The artificial intelligence company did not immediately ⁠respond to a Reuters request for comment.

After an outcry over sexually ​explicit content generated by the chatbot, xAI said in January that it had ​blocked all users from editing images of “real people in revealing clothing” and from generating images of people in revealing clothing in “jurisdictions where it’s illegal.”

Governments and regulators around ​the world have also since launched probes, imposed bans and demanded safeguards ​in a growing push to curb illegal and offensive material.

The lawsuit claims xAI failed ‌to ⁠install safeguards to prevent its systems from generating sexual content involving minors. All three plaintiffs were minors at the time the images were generated.

Plaintiffs allege their real images were digitally altered into explicit content and ​then shared online ​through platforms, ⁠causing emotional distress and creating a public nuisance.

They are seeking unspecified damages, legal fees, and an injunction requiring ​xAI to halt the alleged practices.

“These are children whose ​school photographs ⁠and family pictures were turned into child sexual abuse material,” plaintiffs’ counsel Annika Martin of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein said in a statement.

“Elon Musk ⁠and ​xAI deliberately designed Grok to produce sexually ​explicit content for financial gain, with no regard for the children and adults who would ​be harmed.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were in Los Angeles for Oscars night, but true to form, they made sure almost nobody knew about it.

The famously private couple spent most of their evening at Guy Oseary’s exclusive gathering in the Hollywood Hills, a party long regarded as the most discreet and off-duty destination for A-listers on awards night, according to Page Six. 

It wasn’t their first time there, the pair attended the same party back in 2024.

The night had already sparked speculation before it even began. 

Celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi had clocked what appeared to be Swift’s leg at Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s bash at the Chateau Marmont, sending fans into a tailspin. 

But according to sources, the couple largely kept to the hills, well away from the flashbulbs and the frenzy that tends to follow wherever they go.

It’s a fitting approach for two people who have spent the better part of two years at the very centre of the cultural conversation. 

Swift and Kelce began dating in 2023, a pairing that became one of the most-watched celebrity stories in recent memory and helped drive record NFL viewership whenever Swift appeared at Kansas City Chiefs games.

They got engaged in August 2025, and the question of when and where they might actually get married has been a subject of constant speculation since.

That timeline has been given added context by Kelce’s recent confirmation that he will return to the Chiefs for another season, ending months of retirement rumour. 

ESPN‘s Chiefs insider Nate Taylor noted that with training camp typically starting in late July, any wedding would likely need to happen well before that to avoid clashing with mandatory team commitments. 

A private date, however, has not been announced.

Kelce, for his part, has spoken warmly about how the couple navigate their parallel careers. 

“We share the same love for what we do, and fortunately, we’ve had this desire since we were kids in our selective professions,” he said on a recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show.

For one night at least, the world’s most scrutinised couple managed to celebrate in peace.
