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

They want you to be confused. They want you to look at a map of the Middle East and see a blur of moral equivalence, a fog of complex tragedy where no one is right and no one is wrong. They want you to believe that the actions of a democratic nation fighting for its life are the same as the actions of a genocidal death cult.

But the choice before the free world has never been simpler, nor the stakes so high. It is a choice between a nation that cherishes life and a regime that exports death. It is a choice between surgical self-defense and indiscriminate terror. It is a choice between a future of possible peace and a guaranteed nuclear nightmare.

For weeks, you have been bombarded with a meticulously crafted campaign of lies. It’s time to tear it down.

The Anatomy of a Deception

Let’s be brutally honest about the narratives poisoning the airwaves. They are not journalism; they are ammunition in a war of perception, fired directly from the propaganda ministries of Tehran and amplified by the naive, the cynical, and the malevolent.

They scream about a “war crime” at Evin Prison, citing a death toll of “71 civilians” from a regime that defines a “civilian” as anyone not currently wearing a uniform, even the masterminds of global terror. They show you pictures of rubble but conveniently omit the guest list. These were not random families. The Iranian regime, like its proxy Hamas, has a documented, cowardly history of embedding its command-and-control centers and its most valuable terrorist assets within and beneath civilian infrastructure. The sole responsibility for anyone caught in the crossfire of a strike against a legitimate military target lies with the criminals who use their own people as human shields. The moral outrage should be directed at Tehran for this craven war crime, not at Israel for cleaning up the nest.

They want you to obsess over the reappearance of one official, a classic magician’s trick to distract you from the graveyard of terror masters we successfully sent to their judgment. They want you to focus on one ghost so you ignore the confirmed elimination of IRGC commander Hossein Salami, of Mohammad Baqeri, and of Amir Ali Hajizadeh—the very man who personally orchestrated missile attacks on Israeli homes. These men were the architects of mayhem across the globe, from the Red Sea to the Levant. Their elimination was a monumental service to international security, a blow from which their terror networks will not easily recover. To fixate on one intelligence anomaly while ignoring the decapitation of an entire terror leadership is to willfully miss the point.

And yes, they will relentlessly show you the very real suffering in Gaza, and it is heartbreaking. But they will sever it from its cause. That cause is the Iranian regime, which armed, funded, and unleashed Hamas on October 7th, initiating a cycle of violence to derail peace. The war in Gaza and the necessary action in Iran are not two separate conflicts; they are two fronts in the same war, against the same enemy: the Ayatollah’s cancerous regime.

A Patience Stretched to Its Breaking Point

This action, “Operation Am Kelavi,” was not an act of aggression. It was the last resort of a nation that had exhausted all other options. For years, Israel and the world pursued diplomacy. We signed deals, we issued warnings, we absorbed blows. And how did the regime in Tehran respond? With contempt.

They treated the Non-Proliferation Treaty as a joke. They lied to IAEA inspectors. As the world talked, their centrifuges spun faster. The IAEA’s own reports confirmed our worst fears: Iran was no longer years, but mere weeks away from the “point of no return,” possessing enough enriched uranium for a terrifying arsenal of nuclear bombs. This wasn't a theoretical threat; it was a ticking clock, counting down to our annihilation.

To wait for a genocidal regime—a regime whose official state policy is our destruction—to possess the means of that destruction is not a sane policy. It is suicide. International law does not demand that Israel commit suicide.

A Chasm Between Civilization and Barbarism

Look at the evidence of the past few weeks and see the unbridgeable moral chasm between the two sides. Israel’s targets were the instruments of war and terror: the nuclear enrichment plant at Natanz, the IRGC airbase in Tabriz, the command bunkers of terror leaders. Our goal was to destroy capability, using the most advanced precision munitions on earth to minimize collateral harm. We target weapons. We target terrorists.

In response, Iran launched a barrage of over 200 ballistic missiles. What were their targets? Not IDF headquarters. Not military bases. They aimed for the beating heart of our civilian centers: Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Rishon LeZion. Their “targets” were apartment buildings, parks, and homes. They murdered civilians like Eti Cohen Engel, a 74-year-old grandmother, in her living room. They wage war against families. Any attempt to equate these two approaches is a grotesque moral failure.

The Courage to Prevent a Catastrophe

The most dangerous lie of all is that Israel’s action has made the world less safe. The opposite is true. This was not an act of escalation; it was an act to prevent a far greater, inevitable war. A nuclear-armed Iran would not bring stability. It would trigger a terrifying nuclear arms race in the world’s most volatile region. It would provide a nuclear umbrella for its terror proxies. It would hold the world’s economy hostage.

By acting with courage and precision, Israel did not start a war; we restored deterrence and prevented a future nuclear one. The proof is in the results. Iran’s planned response was crippled. Intelligence showed a plan to launch a thousand missiles; our strike on their capabilities reduced that to a fraction. The regime’s much-vaunted “Axis of Resistance” was paralyzed with fear. Hezbollah, for all its bluster, remained silent. This was not escalation; this was the restoration of order. We have delayed the Iranian nuclear program by years, giving the world a second chance that it did not deserve, but desperately needed.

To stop now, to heed the calls for “restraint,” would be to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It would allow this evil regime to crawl from the rubble, rebuild its weapons of mass destruction, and threaten the world again. We must seize this opportunity to finish the job.

The choice is clear. The truth is simple. You can stand with a regime that hangs homosexuals, subjugates women, and chants “Death to America.” Or you can stand with the free world’s last line of defense against it. You can stand with the oppressed people of Iran, who yearn for freedom from their theocratic jailers.

The fight for the truth is now yours. So what can you do?

• Share this truth. Do not let the lies and propaganda stand unchallenged online or in your community.
• Demand moral clarity from your leaders. Tell them to stand with the defenders of civilization, not the architects of terror.
• Do not be silent. In a war between survival and annihilation, neutrality is not an option. Your voice is a weapon in the fight for a better world. Use it now.
