What is going on in Iran? Pay attention to the sequence

BRIC NEWS
Before war comes propaganda.
Before missiles, comes moral conditioning.
Before sanctions escalate or “intervention” is floated, public resistance must be softened first.
Iran is in that phase right now.
What we’re seeing is not neutral reporting, it’s not “raising awareness” and it’s most certainly not about nuance or understanding Iranian society.
It’s a propaganda campaign, designed to build hate, flatten complexity and make future violence feel justified, even necessary.
Here is how it works:
You don’t begin with war. You begin by redefining a people as a problem that needs solving.
You flood timelines with:
– Emotionally charged clips
– Selective footage
– Symbolic outrage
– Simplified villains
– Constant repetition
Most mainstream narratives strip out Iran’s deep history of foreign pressure, decades of sanctions, strategic geopolitical tensions and external influence, leaving a flattened picture that serves escalation, not understanding.
The message isn’t stated outright, but it’s absorbed:
These people are oppressed.
Their state is irredeemable.
Force is the only option left.
That’s how public opposition to war is dismantled before anyone mentions war.
Here’s what’s deliberately missing from the picture:
- Iran is not a collapsed society
- It is not a failed state waiting to be “fixed”
- It is not a burning ruin
Millions of people live normal lives, cities function, shops are open, families walk the streets, women live across a wide spectrum. WIth religious, secular, defiant, traditional, often side by side.
You can find videos of this easily, but complexity doesn’t serve escalation and so it’s edited out.
This doesn’t mean protests aren’t real, it doesn’t mean grievances don’t exist and
it doesn’t mean the Iranian state is above criticism.
It means selective outrage is being weaponised.
Because when outrage is genuine, it invites solutions. and hen outrage is curated, it invites intervention.
History tells us exactly WHO excels at this process:
United States foreign policy doesn’t require a population to be evil, only useful to frame as such.
We’ve seen this cycle repeatedly before, just remember:
- Iraq
- Libya
- Syria
- Venezuela
A different language, but the same mechanics.
First comes moral framing. Then sanctions and isolation. Then the language of “support for the people”. Then “limited action” and finally long-term instability, sold as liberation.
Modern propaganda doesn’t look like the old posters or state TV.
It looks like:
– viral clips
– algorithmic amplification
– emotional certainty
– moral absolutism
– dissent labelled as “defending tyranny”
It trains people not to think for themselves, but to only react.
Once hate is normalised, war becomes administratively easy. No vote is required and no debate is needed either. Just allow the momentum to happen.
So the real question isn’t: “Do you support Iran’s government?”
That question is a trap.
The real question is:
Are you being prepared psychologically for another war without being told that’s what’s happening?
Because by the time “intervention” enters the conversation, the decision has already been made — just not announced.
