The Spin

Pro-Iran narrative

Iraqi militias stand ready to defend Iran against American aggression, warning that any attack will trigger total war across the region. These resistance forces have mobilized fighters and vowed to make invaders taste the bitterest forms of death. The Trump regime's massive military buildup near Iran represents a dangerous escalation that threatens to ignite a comprehensive conflict.

Anti-Iran narrative

Iraq must break free from the Iranian regime's control to achieve stability and prosperity, as Tehran-backed militias undermine sovereignty and threaten regional security. Former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's return signals potential for stronger governance that prioritizes Iraqi interests over foreign influence. Disarming these dangerous proxy forces is essential for Iraq's future.
