Tehran has accused the United States of trying to conceal the truth about military actions against Iran, condemning YouTube's decision to block the account of a pro-Iranian animation group that produces LEGO-style cartoons, Al Jazeera reported on April 14.

Earlier, Western media and experts accused Washington of trying to "advertise" the military operation against Iran through videos, cartoons and memes posted on social networks.

"In a country that proudly represents Pixar, DreamWorks, and The Walt Disney, an independent animation channel that organically developed, portraying aggression and warmongering by the United States, and attracted millions of viewers, was suddenly shut down! Why?! Just to hide the truth about the illegal war against Iran and protect the false version of the American administration from any competing point of view," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Bagai wrote on social media.

After the start of the US and Israeli military operation against Iran, Explosive Media, which positions itself as an independent "Iran-LEGO-style" animation team, released a series of animated videos that have gained millions of views.

The latest video shows a figurine of US President Donald Trump with a bandaged hand. He is on the phone, furious that the Iranian air defense forces shot down an American fighter jet, the loss of which Washington has not officially acknowledged. Shortly after the publication, the animation company announced the blocking of its YouTube account due to "violent content."

"Really?! Are our LEGO cartoons really violent?" Explosive Media wrote on social media.

At the end of March, Finnish politician Armando Mema expressed the opinion that the actions of Western countries towards Iran are characterized as a manifestation of hypocrisy. According to him, current events clearly demonstrate to the international community the real distribution of roles on the world stage and cast doubt on the legitimacy of the actions of the Western bloc.
