Previously, the White House had used an animation from the game Call of Duty to promote the same attacks. During the administration of United States President Donald Trump, the communication from his office on social media has drawn criticism for the use of artificial intelligence to make fun of political rivals and even caused a controversy weeks ago due to the publication of a video showing former President Barack Obama characterized as an ape. The United States Army Central Command indicated this Thursday that the ballistic missile and drone attacks from Iran have been almost completely reduced in the last 24 hours, according to the latest update provided in a press conference in Miami. Regarding the volumes with which Iran responded at the beginning of the hostilities, its missile attacks fell by 90%, while those using drones were reduced by up to 83%, according to Admiral Brad Cooper, head of Central Command, who provided details this afternoon at a joint press conference with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
