On April 14, 2026, the Iranian Embassy in the Netherlands released a highly provocative AI-generated parody video that has quickly become a focal point of international political discourse. Titled “Goy Story,” the 75-second clip utilizes the aesthetic of the popular “Toy Story” film franchise to satirize the relationship between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The video, captioned with the phrase “America First… but it looks more like Israel comes first,” represents a significant escalation in the use of digital satire by state actors.
The animation depicts a cartoon version of Netanyahu, referred to as “BB,” playing with a Donald Trump action figure on a bedroom floor. In the video, Netanyahu is shown manipulating the Trump figure, declaring him his “favorite toy” and stating that the figure “does everything I say.”
The parody further illustrates this dynamic by showing Trump leading green army men into conflict at Netanyahu’s direction, with the character stating, “We’re going to war… but BB said go.” Meanwhile, dolls representing other U.S. political figures, including Joe Biden and Barack Obama, are shown lying broken and ignored on the floor.
The video concludes with a scene in the Oval Office where the Trump character is seen building a Lego model of the Third Temple, positioned in front of an Israeli flag. The production is credited to “Forbidden Studios.” Since its release, the post has generated hundreds of thousands of views, sparking a polarized reaction online.
While some viewers have characterized the video as a biting piece of political commentary, others have denounced it as crude propaganda designed to sow discord within the American electorate and strain U.S.-Israeli relations.
This release is part of a broader trend of “information warfare” where sovereign nations utilize social media to bypass traditional diplomatic channels. By publishing the content through an official embassy account, the Iranian government has transitioned from standard diplomatic communication to the dissemination of state-sponsored satire, specifically targeting the “MAGA” movement’s core tenets regarding foreign policy and national sovereignty.
