'Nonsense': BBC calls out Fox's Sean Hannity over fake bombing video

Conservative TV presenter Sean Hannity got a correction by the BBC after he shared a purportedly "false" video.

The Fox News host on Saturday posted a video to Meta platforms with the caption, "Fordow is gone," referring to one of the nuclear sites the U.S. struck in Iran.

The clip Hannity posted showed a large explosion, and it was assumed by many commenters that the video depicted Fordow as it was being destroyed.

But senior BBC journalist Shayan Sardarizadeh corrected the TV host.

"Fox News prime time host Sean Hannity has posted this video on Instagram, falsely claiming that it shows US strikes on Fordow tonight," Sardarizadeh wrote on X late on Saturday night. "The video he's posted is actually from December 2024, showing Israeli strikes on a missile base in Tartous, Syria."

Popular liberal commentator Spiro’s Ghost chimed in with, "Sean Hannity posting fake nonsense? Shocked, I tell you."
