• The circulating video of Burj Khalifa is fake and AI-generated
• Explosions in the UAE did not affect the building or cause any fire

Officials and news outlets have denied the authenticity of a viral video showing Dubai’s Burj Khalifa on fire amid regional tensions.

A specialized online tool confirmed the video is fake and was generated using artificial intelligence.

Reports clarified that recent explosions in the UAE were part of retaliatory actions but did not reach the skyscraper or ignite any fire.

The video spread widely on social media, with claims that 1,800 Iranian missiles struck the tower causing a massive fire—a claim proven to be false.
