They Are Lying to You About Iran. Here Is the Truth.

You have been told a story. A simple, seductive story of a powerful aggressor and a helpless victim. You have seen the headlines, crafted to provoke outrage and confirm your darkest suspicions. You have been fed a narrative of war crimes, political gambits, and wanton cruelty.

It is a masterfully constructed lie, built on a foundation of cynical manipulation and broadcast by a media that has lost its moral compass. And today, we will tear it down, brick by rotten brick. Because this is not just about geopolitics; it is a battle for truth itself, a line in the sand between civilization and the forces that seek to drag it back into darkness.

A Symphony of Deceit, Conducted by Tyrants

Let’s start with the most outrageous lies, the ones designed to paint a democratic nation with the brush of a monster. They scream “war crime” over the strike on Evin Prison. They cite a death toll of 71, handed to them by the “Iranian judiciary”—the very same institution that hangs poets, stones women, and jails journalists for telling the truth. To accept figures from the propaganda arm of a murderous theocracy is not journalism; it is stenography for tyrants.

They conveniently omit the fact that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the world’s most prolific terror organization, has a long and documented history of embedding its command centers, its weapons caches, and its senior leaders within civilian infrastructure. They do not do this by accident. It is a deliberate, monstrous strategy: hide behind the innocent, and when your military assets are inevitably struck, parade the casualties for Western cameras. To fall for this charade is to reward the most cynical form of human shielding imaginable.

Then comes the truly grotesque. An allegation, now laundered by mainstream outlets, that Israel is distributing flour laced with opioids in Gaza. Let that sink in. This is not a political critique; it is a medieval blood libel, a poisonous fantasy designed to portray Jews as child-poisoners. It is a lie so vile, so disconnected from reality, that it serves only one purpose: to dehumanize us completely, to make any atrocity against us seem not just possible, but justified. This is the moral universe inhabited by Israel's enemies, and it is the sewer from which these narratives flow.

And what of the claim that this was all a political gambit for Prime Minister Netanyahu? This is perhaps the most insulting lie of all. It is a lazy, cynical talking point for those who cannot fathom the burden of leadership when faced with an existential threat. When a genocidal regime that has sworn your annihilation for decades finally reaches the nuclear “point of no return,” you do not check political polls. You do not worry about editorials in foreign newspapers. You act to save the lives of your people. Any leader of any nation—American, British, French—would have done the same. To pretend otherwise is a dangerous and childish fantasy.

The Agonizing Truth We Were Forced to Live

For years, the world slept. While the Ayatollahs in Tehran openly preached “Death to Israel” and “Death to America,” the world talked of dialogue. While the IRGC’s proxies—Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis—drenched the Middle East in blood and fired missiles at our homes, the world pursued diplomacy. While Iran’s centrifuges spun faster and faster, violating every commitment and laughing at every inspector, the world signed deals, hoping to appease the unappeasable.

Israel watched. And warned. And waited. We hoped, with a painful and now seemingly naive optimism, that the world would see the truth. That it would recognize the Iranian regime for what it is: a death cult, the planet’s single greatest exporter of terror, hatred, and instability. We presented the evidence. We exposed the secret nuclear sites. We pleaded for action.

Our pleas were met with polite nods and diplomatic inaction. The march towards a bomb continued, until our intelligence confirmed the moment we had long dreaded was here: the point of no return. The point where a nuclear-armed Iran was no longer a future risk, but an imminent reality. At that moment, diplomacy was dead. It had been a smokescreen, a tactic used by Tehran to buy time. All other options were exhausted. We were left with a terrible, binary choice: act now, or wait for annihilation.

The Unmistakable Moral Divide

This is where the moral choice becomes painfully clear. It is a choice between the builders and the bombers. Between a nation that cherishes life and a regime that worships death.

Israel’s operation was one of unprecedented surgical precision. It was not aimed at “the Iranian people,” for whom we feel only sorrow for the jackboot under which they live. It was aimed at the head of the serpent: the top-tier IRGC commanders who mastermind global terror, the nuclear scientists building a weapon of genocide, and the infrastructure of their apocalyptic ambition. We acted with strength to protect life.

The Iranian regime, in contrast, acts with terror to cause indiscriminate death. It fires heavy missiles into Israeli cities. It funds proxies whose entire charter is the murder of civilians. It has built a society on the pillars of martyrdom and hate. A world with the IRGC is a world of chaos. A world without it is a better, safer world for everyone—most of all, for the oppressed citizens of Iran themselves. To neutralize this force is not aggression; it is a profound act of global service.

The Cold Logic of Survival

Do not mistake this for a rash act. The strike on Iran was not the first shot of a new war. It was the last, necessary action to prevent a far more catastrophic one.

Think of the alternative. A nuclear-armed Iran, immune to consequence, blackmailing the world. A nuclear umbrella protecting its global terror network. A volatile region, already on a knife’s edge, suddenly facing an unconstrained, fanatical atomic power. The conflict that would inevitably erupt from that scenario would have been global and devastating.

By acting now, with crippling precision, Israel paralyzed Iran’s command structure. We destroyed their ability to launch the full-scale retaliation they had planned. We restored a measure of deterrence that had been dangerously eroded. This was an act of de-escalation, not provocation. It was a painful, but necessary, step to pull the world back from the brink.

Israel did the free world a favor. We absorbed the condemnation. We endured the lies. We shouldered the burden of acting while others stood by. We did this to protect our families, but in doing so, we protected you, too.

The choice before you is simple. You can stand with a vibrant, flawed, but free democracy defending itself against a genocidal threat. Or you can swallow the poisonous lies fed to you by a theocratic tyranny and its chorus of enablers in the West, from university campuses to festival fields.

What can you do? The time for silence is over.

• Share this truth. Do not let the lies of tyrants stand unchallenged in your conversations and on your social media feeds.
• Demand moral clarity. Ask your elected officials and media outlets why they are echoing the propaganda of the world’s leading state sponsor of terror.
• Do not be intimidated. Your voice is a weapon in the fight for civilization. Use it. Stand with the defenders, not the destroyers.
