Ben Stiller criticizes White House for using clip from his film in pro-war video

• Ben Stiller criticized the White House for using a clip from his film Tropic Thunder in a pro-war social media video without permission, stating, "War is not a movie."
• The video, captioned "JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY," combined footage of recent strikes on Iran with scenes from various movies like Iron Man 2 and Gladiator.
• This incident follows previous White House social media posts that merged real missile strike footage with clips from video games like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto.
• White House spokesperson Anna Kelly defended the videos, asserting that under President Trump's decisive leadership, U.S. forces are achieving their goals in "Operation Epic Fury" and will continue to highlight military success.
• The controversy occurs as the Iranian government reports 1,230 deaths from attacks, and U.S. officials acknowledge the likelihood of U.S. forces being responsible for a strike on a girls' school that killed over 175 people.
