I think what many people don't realize is that the target of this propaganda isn't the Iranian people, but American's and the west.
This isn't difficult to do with someone like Trump in power. They aren't shouting "Death to America" because they don't have to. They can easily position Trump as an enemy of the people, just as American's have done to the Ayatollah in the past.
In the West, I have always felt, we were in support of the Iranian people, but not the leadership which barely represented them. Now in the US, you have a similar dichotomy.
I don't think anyone in the west is hoping for a stronger Iran, but we're also not wishing for a stronger America.
Note: I'm Canadian, but have lived in the US and have much of my family in the US
- __MatrixMan__ 6mo agoIt's pretty obvious if you watch the videos that they're either targeted at the American people, or at Trump and Hegseth themselves.

Who are “we”? No countries has done more harm to the Iranian people than the USA and the UK. USA and UK literally toppled their democratic government and installed a brutal regime so well connected business interests could steal the Iranian people’s oil.
