Fake AI-generated image of Pentagon explosion goes viral on social media | Oneindia News
An image that showed an explosion near the Pentagon was shared by multiple verified Twitter accounts causing confusion and leading to a brief dip in the stock market.
Within minutes, a wave of social media accounts including some verified accounts shared the fake picture, further amplifying the confusion.
The posts sent a brief shiver through the stock market and were quickly picked up by news outlets outside the U.S., before officials jumped in to clarify that no blast actually took place and the photo was a fake.
Local officials later confirmed no such incident had occurred.
The image, which bears all the hallmarks of being generated by artificial intelligence, was shared by numerous verified accounts with blue check marks, including one that falsely claimed it was associated with Bloomberg News.
The account has since been suspended by Twitter.
It was unclear who was behind the account or where the image originated.
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has declared war on the Pentagon’s top brass. In a bold move, he’s slashing the ranks of senior military officials, with 4-star generals now facing the axe. As President Trump’s second term kicks off, Hegseth is reshaping the Department of Defense with a brutal overhaul that could forever change the future of the U.S. military. Watch as Hegseth’s purge sends shockwaves through the Pentagon, sparking fierce debate over military leadership and the path forward.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Chief of Staff, Joe Kasper, is stepping down amid a deepening leak scandal tied to unauthorized Signal chats about U.S. strikes on Yemen. His resignation follows the ousting of three top Pentagon advisors, reportedly over clashes with Kasper. The White House is standing by Hegseth, though pressure mounts after claims a journalist was accidentally included in sensitive Signal discussions. Critics have described “a month of total chaos” at the Pentagon as investigations and accusations of character attacks continue to rock the defense leadership.

Despite Trump-era tariffs and Pentagon bans, nearly every drone used by American companies still contains critical Chinese components. From engines to airframes and batteries, U.S. drone tech — including military-grade hardware — remains heavily reliant on China. Silicon Valley startups, defense contractors, and even top officials like VP J.D. Vance have been exposed using Chinese tech. With China controlling nearly 90% of global drone hardware, experts warn that any cutoff couldcripple the U.S. drone industry for up to a year.

A new NCRI survey reveals disturbing levels of support for political violence in the U.S., with 55% of left-leaning Americans saying Trump’s assassination could be justified.
