The attacks caused substantial losses on both sides, including several high-ranking Iranian military officials such as IRGC commander Hossein Salami, while Israeli casualties numbered approximately 28 from Iran&#8217;s retaliatory missile and drone attacks. (Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/world\/live-news\/israel-iran-conflict-06-21-25-intl-hnk\">CNN<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/jinsa.org\/jinsa_report\/iran-summary-june-2025\/\">JINSA<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iran launched approximately 574 ballistic missiles and 1,100 drones toward Israel, with the majority intercepted by defense systems. A U.S. military base in Qatar was also targeted. A ceasefire brokered by the United States came into effect on June 24, 2025 (<a href=\"https:\/\/commonslibrary.parliament.uk\/research-briefings\/cbp-10292\/\">Source<\/a>). No verified CCTV footage from nuclear facilities has been publicly released; available official footage documented external structural damage rather than interior control room operations. The IAEA reported no radiological contamination but documented significant damage to Iran&#8217;s nuclear infrastructure (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2025\/6\/21\/israel-iran-conflict-list-of-key-events-june-21-2025\">Source<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The circulation of this video aligns with documented instances of AI-generated content related to the conflict. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ai-generated-videos-falsehoods-iran-israel-conflict\/\">CBS News<\/a> documented the spread of digitally fabricated videos during this period, including falsified footage of events such as a Tehran prison fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The viral video claiming to show leaked CCTV footage from Iranian nuclear facilities is misleading. Three of the four clips in the montage are AI-generated fabrications, while the single authentic segment shows a briefing room responding to strikes on air defense sites near Tabriz, not nuclear facilities, and has been misrepresented. Although Israel did conduct significant strikes on Iran&#8217;s nuclear infrastructure during Operation Rising Lion in June 2025, no verified interior CCTV footage from nuclear sites has been publicly released, and the viral video originated from an account known for spreading AI-generated disinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<!DOCTYPE html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t\t\t.container {\n\t\t\t\t\t  border: 2px solid #000;\n\t\t\t\t\t  background-color: #eee;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 5px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  padding: 16px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin: 16px 0\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container::after {\n\t\t\t\t\t  content: \"\";\n\t\t\t\t\t  clear: both;\n\t\t\t\t\t  display: table;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t  float: left;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 50%;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container span {\n\t\t\t\t\t  font-size: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 15px;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t@media (max-width: 500px) {\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  text-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  margin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  float: none;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  display: block;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Misleading.png\n\" alt=\"Avatar\" style=\"width:120px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><span>Title:<\/span>Viral Video Claiming &#8216;Leaked Footage&#8217; of Israeli Strikes on Iranian Nuclear Sites Is Misleading\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <strong>Fact Check By:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@factcrescendo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cielito Wang<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Misleading<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/html>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=94771514696&#038;text=Please%20type%20your%20Name%20and%20Language:%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2481\" src=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Whats-app-sri-lanka.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A viral montage circulating across social media platforms claims to show leaked CCTV footage from inside Iranian military and nuclear facilities during Israeli airstrikes.
