“Wartime propaganda has evolved for the social media age, and Iran is now vying with the U”
The animation referenced genocides, atomic bombings, Abu Ghraib, and the 290 killed on Iran Air Flight 655.
It pivoted to recent wounds including Epstein victims and the Minab school strike.
CNBC noted Iran's social media fight ramped up concurrent with real-world bombardment as a war of aesthetics.
