US President Donald Trump is pictured burying himself in a garish Iranian propaganda video that has been shared online.
Explosive Media, a social media user that has been banned on YouTube, makes AI generated songs and music videos attacking the US over its war in Iran.
Speaking to the BBC, the man behind the account admitted the Iranian government is a "customer" for his content.
In his latest video, Trump is depicted being killed by a grim reaper. Another scene shows the President burying a bruised, seemingly deceased version of himself in a grave.
These videos have attracted widespread criticism, including allegations of antisemitism. However, the man behind the content told the BBC he rejects these allegations.
In another video, Trump is depicted falling through a whirlwind of "Epstein file" documents as the lyrics "the secrets are leaking, the pressure is rising" are played.

US Vice President JD Vance was unable to reach an agreement after long talks with Iran over the country's nuclear weapo's programme and its ongoing blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
Vance said: “The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement and I think that's bad news for Iran, much more than it's bad news for the United States of America."
