A Toy Story-style animated video depicting the ongoing US-Israel conflict with Iran has gone viral online, as Iranian-linked social media handles increasingly use pop culture formats to troll the US and Israel.
The short clip, titled “Goy Story”, presents toy-like characters resembling world leaders, blending satire and symbolism with geopolitical messaging in a format designed for easy sharing. The Iran Embassy in The Hague shared the video on X, captioning it: “New MAGA Toy Story just dropped… ‘America First’… but it looks more like Israel comes first.”
The video opens with a character resembling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu playing with a figurine of US President Donald Trump, referring to him as a “favourite toy” that follows instructions — a visual nod to the US-Israel alliance.
The video draws most closely from Toy Story, particularly its central idea of toys being controlled and assigned roles.
Within this framework, Netanyahu is portrayed as Andy, the controlling figure, while Trump resembles Woody, the loyal toy. Joe Biden appears to reflect the franchise’s recurring theme of older toys being replaced, while the toy soldiers mirror the Green Army Men. The clip also features a figurine resembling Barack Obama, appearing briefly alongside other US political characters in the Toy Story-style narrative.

In another scene, a devil-like figure prepares a meal of skulls and calls Netanyahu, an apparent reference to casualties linked to conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.
The Trump character is then shown directing toy soldiers, suggesting military mobilisation, while a figure resembling Biden appears briefly, expressing regret before being dismissed.
The clip also references the “Third Temple”, a politically sensitive idea linked to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem. The final shot reveals the sequence unfolding inside a stylised White House.
The viral clip is part of a broader trend during the ongoing conflict, where the Iran war has increasingly spilled into the digital space, with memes, AI-generated videos and pop culture references becoming a parallel front of engagement.
From Lego-style animations to satirical clips targeting Trump and Netanyahu, Iranian-linked accounts and creators have been consistently pushing content designed for both American audiences as well as global social media consumption, explaining their side of the story.
