With that said, I think the video, looked at as a propaganda piece, threads the needle about as well as possible - it sticks strictly to referring to Israel as a country, but also just as importantly frames Trump as the primary actor rather than taking direction from Israel.
Thanks for any insight.
If you truly care about the Iranian people, you'd be agreeing with these videos, because the attack has only made their lives worse. And this was completely expected, look at how the last two times of the US attacking a country in the Middle East went.
I mean, when you would have literally death penalty for attempt to overthrow the order, of course you will be "simply calling for reform".
One need not wonder. Your first guess is correct!
Protesters are armed solders with guns organized by IDF and CIA.

Something's been bothering me, and it's how little control our leadership has over what comes across their screens.
1 - We've read the reputable reporting on the troll farms.
2 - We haven't seen reporting that the problem is fixed.
3 - We know our politicians are on social media.
Presumably, every single day, American politicians see at least one post from someone pretending to be their constituent. How are they avoiding conscious, if not subconscious, influence?

The issue isn’t the amount of spending; they could spend nothing and would still get bombed because they are antagonistic to the US and its allies/vassals.
They are a theocratic regime which is not supported by 80% of its population. Being gay is punishable by death. They employ surveillance from China to ensure hijabs are worn by women at all times. They ban access to the internet. Chants of "Death to America" are their government's routine greeting for 50 years. They place military equipment in schools and hospitals deliberately, viewing US compassion as a weakness. They recruit child soldiers and have them publicly stationed at military targets.
There is definitely "antagonism," but to act as if the Iranian people would not bomb their own government if they could... it's a bit much.
And the people in power in Iran actively are not in favor of the good of their people, a large proportion of which want nothing to do with their religious fundamentalism.
How do you convince oppressive zealots to play nice for peace when their whole existence rests on having enemies? "death to America!" being the popular chant at political rallies.
Funny, I was just thinking that about the US.
I don't know how anyone in good faith can compare Iran's economy to the U.S.
Wait, isn't the US has literally the highest spending on education in the world? And it is precisely the highest spending in the world on missiles that make it possible. So less money on missiles would mean less money on education.
Iran has agreed to open them for inspection several times.
> into economic development, infrastructure, and education
They're embargoed to a point where they can't do this.
> Iran would be in a completely different place today.
Iran's currency is backed by the crown jewels the Shah left behind.
Iran prisoners per capita: 226
Particularly interesting to me is how prisoners in Iran have the right to vote while prisoners in the US can have their vote taken away.
USA: 1 in 12 million; 1 in 8.6 million
Iran: 1 in 97,000; 1 in 62,000
I'm not saying that you, personally, are being deliberately obtuse and unnuanced about this (and I'm not even saying that there aren't people who are sympathizing with the Iranian regime) but there are absolutely people being deliberately obtuse and unnuanced about it.
Nothing substantial achieved, at least not positive for US. Israel is toying with you like with a donkey and carrot on stick. Is that not insulting to your own pride and self-worth? You lost all partners globally, everybody hates dealing with US and rolls their eyes on another daily set of whims of your oligarchs.
China is damn happy, russia is very happy so there is certainly that. And Iran, they will keep doing their thing, regardless of what you do and cia has to accept there isnt much they can change about that. Iran would be stupid to not throw everything into getting nuclear bomb for themselves. russians would be stupid to not help them there at this point.
NYTimes has since admitted to their close partnership with the CIA in its coverage but, crucially, it has never apologized for it.
It's sad to see the modern panic over "fake news" as if it's a new phenomenon. Rather, this feels to me like the "boomerang theory" in action
“We spoke” is doing a more than necessary work here. Maybe just ask a few things and wrote what we had decided to write. My problem isn’t with those claims, which are true, but setting a narrative where a single country is exploiting social media for propaganda while clearly ignoring the crimes of much worse actors here.
