A Native American chief rides on his horse onto a barren landscape, bathed in moonlight. The animated video rapidly shuttles between a range of people who’ve been victims of the United States government, from Black Americans in chains to survivors of Iraq’s notorious Abu Ghraib prison complex. Then it pans to Iranian soldiers sticking large banners on missiles, as the tempo of the background music picks up.
Victims of US war and abuses in Afghanistan, Vietnam and Iraq – and the “children of Epstein island” – all get similar messages, plastered on missiles that then fire off. The video ends with giant statues of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu collapsing, and a line in bold, white and all caps: ‘ONE VENGEANCE FOR ALL.’ For all the crimes you committed against humanity,for all the voices you silenced,and for all the children whose play was left unfinished— ONE VENGEANCE FOR ALL. pic.twitter.com/7JugYm2YU4 — Explosive Media (@ExplosiveMediaa) March 28, 2026 The March 29 video is one of many released by Explosive Media, among several Iran-based groups that have used the Lego figures and blocks that households around the world are familiar with to script a viral social media trend, bolstering Tehran’s narrative amid the war against the US and Israel. The video depicting the multiple victims of US aggression and domestic crimes has been viewed almost 150,000 times on X.
Explosive Media’s YouTube account has more recently been deleted by the Google-owned video-sharing platform. But the Tehran-based group, which uses bespoke lyrics and rap beats to mock Trump – often using the US president’s own words to accuse him of hypocrisy and of pandering to Israel’s interests rather than America’s – isn’t giving up. An Explosive Media representative, who requested anonymity, told Al Jazeera that their YouTube channel was shut down on the grounds of promoting violence – and that they are convinced that Lego-like brick animations are not at all violent.
Red symbolises the oppressor. Especially that moment when war helmets are placed on missiles and drones – it was truly brilliant,” he said. Other videos use phrases like “Epstein regime”, “Loser’’ and show the US president’s supporters wearing brick red hats with MAGA – Trump’s Make America Great Again movement – on them.
They depict Trump’s promises to keep the US out of new wars and help ordinary working-class Americans, then use the president’s own words to accuse him of betraying his commitments and instead prioritising Israeli demands. It’s how Trump often refers to his opponents.

Another video was aimed at addressing the Lebanese people, stating that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) will not leave them behind, released after the brutal pounding of the country, where more than 100 bombs were dropped in 10 minutes. دمُكم دمُناأطفالُكم أطفالُنالن نترك لبنان أبدًاانتظروا قلیلا… pic.twitter.com/NSdUJ0emuB — Explosive Media (@ExplosiveMediaa) April 8, 2026 The team making these videos comprises 10 people, all between the ages of 19 and 25. And they clearly have access to the internet – including US-owned social media platforms that Iran’s government has blocked access to for most Iranians since the start of the war. In the interview with Al Jazeera, the Explosive Media spokesperson acknowledged that Iranian state media outlets are among their customers, but said the group itself was independent.
