Fake: Missiles Meant for Ukraine Surface in Iranian Strikes on U.S., Israel

The claim does not appear on any of USA Today's official platforms, and Parker Hempel, the ISW analyst cited in the video, has no record of making the statements attributed to him. Iran's missile arsenal draws exclusively from Soviet and North Korean design lineages, and U.S.-manufactured systems are mechanically incompatible with Iranian launch infrastructure. The video is the latest iteration of a recurring disinformation narrative - the so-called "NATO weapons black market" - a claim that has been repeatedly investigated and never substantiated.

Fake: Zelensky Visit Near Kupyansk Was Green-Screen Staging

The video showing Volodymyr Zelensky near Kupyansk was not staged. The president's visit to the frontline city on December 12, 2025, was documented by official announcements, footage from the scene, and coverage by independent media, while OSINT analysts independently confirmed the location through geolocation.
