The mullahs’ best weapon isn’t a missile — it’s some in the US media

The Iranian regime has always known that the surest way to weaken the United States is not to defeat our military, but to erode the American public‘s will to support its own.
And in the 90 days since Operation Epic Fury began, the regime has found its most effective vehicle for that campaign: much of the Western press.
Turn on most major US news outlets (Fox News and The California/New York Post excepted) and you will hear, almost verbatim, the talking points Tehran has been pushing on state-controlled Press TV and in the Tehran Times since February.
The US is “losing.” Trump has “no plan.” The strikes were “a failure.” Gas at $4.50 a gallon (a dream for California!) is proof the war was a mistake.
America is the ‘aggressor.’ Israel dragged us into someone else’s war. The regime cannot be toppled, so we may as well negotiate with it. The price at the pump matters more than the centrifuges at Fordow.
The president himself pointed it out.
On Truth Social this week, he laid out the entire racket: “If Iran surrenders, admits their Navy is gone and resting at the bottom of the sea, and their Air Force is no longer with us, and if their entire Military walks out of Tehran, weapons dropped and hands held high, each shouting ‘I surrender, I surrender’ while wildly waving the representative White Flag… The Failing New York Times, The China Street Journal, Corrupt and now Irrelevant CNN, and all other members of the Fake News Media, will headline that Iran had a Masterful and Brilliant Victory over The United States of America.”
