Incident 14142 Report
Purported Gemini-Generated AI Images Reportedly Claimed U.S. Delta Force Soldiers Were Captured by the IRGC

2026-03-05

Images purportedly generated by Gemini were reportedly circulated on X and Facebook in multiple languages claiming U.S. soldiers had been captured by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps during the war in Iran. AFP said the images contained Gemini markers and other visual inconsistencies. Their circulation allegedly contributed to wartime misinformation and risked distorting public understanding of the conflict, including reported amplification by Jill Stein.
