Fact Check: Ad Agency Created 'Iran Is Your Problem Too' Video With Missile Shaped Balloons Floating Through New York Street -- Digital Creation Not Real

Does a video really show missile-shaped baloons with the slogan "Iran is your problem too!" floating past Radio City Hall in New York? No, that's not true: The video was created by a digital advertising agency named Cracker TLV. They created several other videos using the exact same background scene but with other objects floating past.

The video can be seen in this Facebook post (archived here) published by "Yahav Draizin" on June 13, 2025.

This is what the post looked like on Facebook at the time of writing:
