‘Iranians Want to Be Bombed’? Inside the Propaganda Campaign for War

Jamal Abdi, President of the National Iranian American Council discusses the “war industry” driving theU.S.-Israeli war on Iran and the coordinated propaganda effort to frame the bombing campaign as a “liberation.”

Abdi details the chilling effects of state surveillance and online intimidation on the Iranian diaspora, arguing that the “imminent threat” narrative is a decades-old facade used to justify a war of choice.

“The narrative is that 90 million Iranians want Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu to come liberate them. Obviously, this is complete nonsense.”
