The video published on the official social media of The White House has garnered significant attention on the internet after accumulating over 30 million views. The post featured footage from the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, mixed with real footage of military attacks related to the war in Iran.
The video begins with a scene from the game where the MGB (Mass Guided Bombs) killstreak is activated on the remastered map Afghan. This is followed by real footage of bombings, while elements from the game, such as the display of experience points for hit targets, are added through editing. This is not the first time the White House has tried to engage a younger audience through references to popular video games. In October 2025, the social media team of the Donald Trump administration used artificial intelligence to portray the president as the character Master Chief from the Halo series.
However, the combination of scenes from the video game with real war footage has sparked numerous reactions on social media, where many users expressed discomfort over the mixing of entertainment content and real war events.
