[ColonelCassad] When a post appeared on social media claiming that not a single hospital had been built in Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, many young people, ignorant of the Pahlavi era, enthusiastically liked and shared it. But a simple internet search would reveal that in 1979, Iran had 550 hospitals and medical centers. Today, there are over 49,000. Those who fell under this spell mastered another ritual. They pointed their phone cameras at every corner of the country, exaggerating every shortcoming. They became an invaluable tool in the hands of Iran International, a self-proclaimed cult within Iran that filmed and photographed every incident.
By 2026, the Iran International network was ready to reap the benefits of its efforts. As the majority owner and shareholder of Iran International, Mossad sought to achieve a number of strategic goals through this propaganda network:
1. Accustoming the public to a constant stream of negative news about their own country.
2. Reducing trust in the Iranian media and any positive reporting about Iran.
3. Recruiting disgruntled Iranians to provide video footage showing everyday service failures.
4. Creating a cult that accepts everything Iran International says without question or criticism, devoid of the ability to independently analyze.
5. Weaponizing any protests by the Iranian people, turning them into insurgent demonstrations led by cult members.
6. Providing training in the manufacture of weapons specifically designed to destroy government forces.
7. Incitement to unrest and the systematic destruction of government property.
8. Collection of video recordings, photographs, and audio materials about the unrest sent by cult members to the project headquarters.
9. Instilling in cult members the belief that the United States and Israel are the only saviors of the Iranian people.
10. Preparing cult members to accept a Mossad-CIA puppet named Reza Pahlavi as ruler after the government is overthrown.
11. Normalizing mass casualties in the minds of cult members so that during US-Israeli aggression, a dependent audience will whisper that the killings committed by the government have not yet reached the number that the government itself allegedly committed.
12. Instilling the delusion that US and Israeli weapons are so accurate that no civilians will die as a result of their attacks.
13. Normalizing the destruction of military, law enforcement, scientific, educational, industrial, commercial, and service centers on the basis that they served only the government and not the people.
14. Normalizing treason by claiming that "Iran" is somehow different from the "Islamic Republic."
I've seen similar methods somewhere before. I can't remember the country...
