Iran dismisses Trump's post of attack on key energy hub of Kharg

By Phil Stewart and David Lawder Aug 31 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video clip that he said showed Iran's oil hub Kharg Island being blown to smithereens, which an Iranian official dismissed as "laughable", just hours after both nations resumed hostilities for the first time since July. Several hours after the post, there was no evidence Kharg had been attacked. The White House and the U.S. Defense Department did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment outside regular business hours.
