Footage does not show US take down of Iranian missiles

Associated Press  

CLAIM: Video shows U.S. shooting down missiles launched by Iran. THE FACTS: A number of Twitter users falsely shared computer-generated imagery claiming it showed the U.S. take down of Iranian missiles this week. “We believe this specific video was made by one of our players a long time ago, and the same footage has been misused various times for spreading fake news in the past, said Alex Sutton, a representative for Bohemia Interactive. “Unfortunately, for obvious reasons, there’s no way we can prevent footage from our games being used this way – all we can do is clarify and confirm the footage’s actual origin, and implore people to please check such things before aiding in the spread of misinformation and fabricated reality. Iran fired several ballistic missiles early Wednesday at two Iraqi military bases that house U.S. troops.
