As the world watches Israel’s unprecedented military successes against the Islamic Republic of Iran in the ongoing war, the regime in Tehran is under pressure.
With no real achievements besides indiscriminate missile fire at civilians, Iran’s rulers have ramped up their psychological warfare and propaganda efforts—targeting not just supporters, but especially domestic critics.
A spokesman for “Operation Promise Fulfilled 3” claimed today that Iran launched its most powerful and accurate missile strike yet, allegedly hitting key “Zionist regime” targets despite advanced Israeli defenses backed by the U.S.
The Iranian regime insists Israel is in disarray, with citizens “fleeing” the country.
THEIR PROPAGANDA INCLUDES A LIST OF SUPPOSED DIRECT HITS:
Complete destruction of the Weizmann Institute in Tel Aviv (which is actually in Rehovot)
Shutdown of Haifa oil refineries
Destruction of the Mossad headquarters
Partial damage to Nevatim Airbase
Strikes near the Israeli Ministry of Defense
To reinforce these false claims, Iran produces fake images and videos—like an “F-35 shot down,” or an Israeli pilot parachuting after being hit by Iranian air defense. Another video allegedly shows the Haifa port before and after an “ammonia tank explosion.”
In one clip, the voice chanting “Free, free Palestine” belongs to Mandla Mandela, grandson of Nelson Mandela, now a radical Islamist and Hamas supporter. He's been active in Gaza-related protests and appeared at Hezbollah and Houthi events.
Meanwhile, real images show the opposite: mass traffic out of Tehran, overwhelmed borders with Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Pakistan, and growing unrest within Iran. Despite this, regime propaganda claims Israelis are fleeing by boat to Cyprus due to closed airspace—accompanied by images titled “Zionists escape by boat” and threats like “Those who don’t sail today will swim tomorrow.”
To heighten the illusion of Israeli panic, they shared an image of people in a military truck labeled “Zionist escape.” But Iranian citizens aren’t buying it—many mock these fabrications online. This has prompted the regime to launch a new cyber monitoring unit within the Tehran prosecutor’s office to track and prosecute digital dissent.
