#attention... A video has been circulating on social media accompanied by the caption: "An Iraqi man captures on camera the presence of snipers inside one of the U.S. stadiums hosting the 2026 World Cup." #The_Truth: Although the report of snipers deployed outside Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles is accurate, the video purporting to show snipers deployed inside one of the U.S. stadiums hosting the 2026 World Cup is misleading. as it turns out the clip is from a send-off ceremony held to mark the Uzbek national soccer team’s participation in the 2026 World Cup finals and has no connection to security measures inside the U.S. stadiums hosting the tournament. Upon verifying the video by conducting a reverse image search on several stills extracted from it, it was found that the clip was posted by an Uzbek account on Instagram on May 22, 2026. The poster included a comment stating, According to the translation: "Today, in the presence of our president, we reverently watched the Uzbek national team on its way to the World Cup. During the event, moving words, soccer celebrations, and unforgettable moments filled everyone with high spirits." In other words, the circulating claim is false, as the video was not filmed by an Iraqi fan, nor was it filmed inside one of the U.S. stadiums hosting the 2026 World Cup matches; rather, it was filmed by an Uzbek individual inside the Bunyodkor Stadium in Uzbekistan, during an event related to the Uzbek national team’s participation in the World Cup. It also turned out that the video was filmed during a farewell ceremony for the Uzbek national team, which qualified for the 2026 World Cup, in the presence of Uzbekistan’s President, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, which was held at Bunyodkor Stadium in the capital Tashkent, and not inside one of the U.S. stadiums hosting the tournament as claimed. The circulation of this video comes after the spread of clips and photos documenting the presence of snipers outside the Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles. #it_ends_with_us #Tech4Peace #T4P

#attention... #photoshop... A photo has been circulating on social media accompanied by text stating: "Sayyid Ammar al-Hakim assures the Lebanese ambassador of his full approval for the employment of 3,000 Lebanese workers at a salary of 800,000 in the Baghdad Municipality, with the aim of strengthening relations between the two countries." #The_Truth: The report that Ammar al-Hakim, leader of the Al-Hikma Movement, has approved the employment of 3,000 Lebanese workers in the Baghdad Municipality is false and untrue. It has also been revealed that the circulating photo was digitally altered using artificial intelligence techniques, as the Lebanese ambassador to Iraq is Khalil Abdullah Mohammed, not a “female ambassador” as stated in the fake post. Upon verifying the alleged news using keywords via search engines, no reliable source was found to support this claim, nor was any news on this matter posted on Sayyid Ammar al-Hakim’s official Facebook account, and no local media outlets, whether official or unofficial, covered such a story. We verified the image by conducting a reverse image search and found the original version, which shows the leader of the Al-Hikma Movement, Sayyid Ammar al-Hakim, accompanied by the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, Masrour Barzani. The photo was posted on Sayyid Ammar al-Hakim’s official account on May 24, 2026, during his reception of Masrour Barzani. As for the widely circulated image showing a woman standing next to Mr. Ammar al-Hakim, examination using specialized image analysis tools revealed that its elements are unrealistic and that it was generated using artificial intelligence techniques to a high degree. This indicates that the original photo was digitally manipulated by replacing the image of the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region with that of a woman added using AI tools. The post also contains incorrect information regarding the presence of a “Lebanese ambassador” in Iraq, as the Lebanese Embassy in Iraq is headed by Ambassador Khalil Abdullah Mohammed, who presented his credentials to former Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid in February 2026, and not an ambassador as claimed in the circulating allegation. #it_ends_with_us #Tech4Peace #T4P

A photo has been circulating on social media with the caption: "An Iraqi police officer surprises his wife with a bouquet of flowers at a gas station." #The_Truth: The circulating photo does not show an Iraqi police officer surprising his wife with a bouquet of flowers at a gas station, as claimed. Rather, it turns out to be a photo manipulated using artificial intelligence techniques, based on an original still taken from a video documenting an incident in which a member of the Energy Police in Kirkuk Province assaulted a citizen. We verified the image by conducting a reverse image search, and found the original video, which was published by several media outlets on June 13, 2026. It shows a citizen documenting his assault by an officer while filing a complaint at a gas station in Kirkuk. An examination of the image using specialized image analysis tools also revealed that itis unrealistic and highly likely to have been generated using artificial intelligence techniques, indicating that the original shot was digitally manipulated by adding a bouquet of flowers and a woman’s hand, two elements not present in the original scene. Analysis of the image also revealed clear signs of digital manipulation, most notably the distortion of text on military insignia and its illegibility, as well as errors in the details of the hands and fingers and their lack of consistency, which are common signs in images generated or modified using AI techniques. In a related development, on Saturday, June 13, 2026, the Ministry of the Interior ordered the formation of an investigative committee and the arrest of a member of the Energy Police in Kirkuk Governorate for assaulting a citizen at a gas station, according to a statement published by the ministry on its official Facebook page. #it_ends_with_us #Tech4Peace #T4P

#attention... #fake_post... A photo has been circulating on social media accompanied by the caption: "Barcelona striker Lewandowski is supporting the Iraqi national team in the World Cup with this photo." #The_Truth: The photo, which allegedly shows Polish player Robert Lewandowski wearing the Iraqi national team’s jersey in support of the team at the World Cup, is fake and was generated using artificial intelligence (AI) technology. When examined using specialized image analysis tools, the results showed that the photo is fake and was generated with a high degree of AI technology. An examination of the image using Google’s Gemini tool also revealed that the image is fake, as clear visual distortions can be observed. For instance, when looking at the fingers of the right hand (in the image, the person’s right hand from behind), it is evident that the shape and size of the fingers appear strange and unnatural—one of the most common areas where AI technologies often make mistakes. Additionally, the overall texture of the skin and the lighting on the face appear excessively smooth and polished (a plastic-like effect), which is a common feature in AI-generated images. We verified the authenticity of the circulating image and found no reliable source confirming its authenticity, as the official account of Polish player Robert Lewandowski contains no similar image, nor have sports media outlets published any similar images. Furthermore, search results using keywords in both Arabic and Polish did not yield any information confirming the authenticity of this image. This image began circulating after the Iraqi national team qualified for the 2026 World Cup finals, marking its second appearance following its sole participation in the 1986 World Cup. The team secured its spot after defeating Bolivia 2-1 in the intercontinental playoff. #it_ends_with_us #Tech4Peace #T4P
