The White House's sharing of a video featuring US airstrikes on Iran edited with footage from the game Grand Theft Auto (GTA) has sparked controversy on social media.
The post, titled "OPERATION EPIC FURY," included the statements, "Destroy Iran’s missile arsenal. Destroy their navy. Ensure they NEVER get a nuclear weapon. Locked in."
In the 43-second video, after a character from the GTA game says, "Ah shit, here we go again," footage of targets hit by the US in Iran was shown. The post drew reactions.
