The Spin
Pro-Iran narrative
The U.S. and Israel launched an unprovoked military campaign against Iran, killing senior commanders and civilians alike — this is naked aggression, plain and simple. Striking military and civilian infrastructure across Iran isn't defense, it's a war of destruction. The Islamabad peace plan offers a real off-ramp, and refusing it only proves the goal was never security, it was regime destruction.
Pro-Israel narrative
Majid Khademi and Asghar Bakri weren't innocent bystanders — they were architects of terror, directing attacks against Jews and Israelis worldwide. Eliminating the leadership of Iran's intelligence and Quds Force isn't aggression; it's dismantling a machine built to kill. The Iranian regime's blood is on its own hands, and the mission continues until every threat is neutralized.
