🇮🇷 ‘It’s America that must choose whether it wants to end this or not’ — Pezeshkian

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian rejected the premise that Tehran must choose between war and a deal, saying Iran never sought the conflict and remains ready for diplomacy.

💬 “We never sought war. We do not seek war.”

He stressed that Iran had already reached and signed an agreement with the US before the attacks began, while the Strait of Hormuz remained open.

💬 “Without any legal justification or framework, they attacked us.”

Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran will defend itself if fighting continues.

📺 🇮🇷Iran’s AI propaganda video masterclass

Iranian media, IRGC-affiliated channels, influencer networks and independent content creators are flooding social media with a stream of polished, emotionally powerful and hilarious AI-generated videos, with some surely destined to be featured in future documentaries and lectures on the history of the current conflict.

Far from the AI slop content that we’ve all become used to, many of the videos serve as effective propaganda in the best sense of the word - the dissemination and deliberation of info and ideas to put forward Iran’s case in the face of US-Israeli aggression.

The clips feature:

🔴 regular references to Baal, the devil-horned demon of Western occult tradition associated with child sacrifice, which Iran effectively declared war on in February amid the publication of the Epstein files

🔴 abundant references to the files themselves, (correctly) framing the war as an existential struggle between Iran and the global Epstein class

🔴 multiple videos making reference to the brutal double tap attack on an Iranian girls school on day 1 of the war

🔴 a series of endearing, Lego-inspired videos, from a modern retelling of the Quranic Battle of the Elephants featuring Trump and Netanyahu, to a full-length rap about Trump the reckless gambler

🔴 comedic clips, like Trump talking to himself while pretending to negotiate with the Iranians

🔴 a video feat. Scott Ritter on Trump’s total ignorance of the Shia faith, the Twelvers, the story of Husayn ibn Ali, the Battle of Karbala, and the fact that for Iranians, this is a religious war

🔴 and even a movie trailer-style “based on a true story, unfortunately” clip featuring real-world actors parodying Netanyahu’s ‘Iran is two weeks away from a nuke’ rhetoric and the chaos unleashed by Trump’s decision to unleash this war.
