The Spin

Pro-Iran narrative

Iran's nuclear program remains peaceful and poses no threat, as confirmed by IAEA chief Rafael Grossi who explicitly stated that Iran never sought nuclear weapons. The U.S.-Israeli strikes were based on fabricated justifications and violated international law, while America hypocritically resumes its own atomic weapons testing. Iran's enrichment technology survived the attacks and the country will rebuild with greater strength, refusing to bow to impossible preconditions that amount to total capitulation.

Anti-Iran narrative

If the Iranian regime dares to rebuild its bombed nuclear sites, it risks provoking the same devastation once more. The regime hides its pursuit of nuclear weapons behind talk of medicine, light, and peace, while its ballistic missile tests expose its deception. Each of Iran's diplomatic gestures conceals a hunger for regional dominance. Iran’s leaders gamble recklessly with the nation’s survival, inviting new sanctions, deeper ruin, and the misery of millions who pay for their ambition and pride.
