Iran’s ‘Godfather of propaganda’ tactics resurface in war with US and Israel

Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
Just before a two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran took effect, Iran’s regime urged children and adults to act as human shields around energy facilities in response to threats against its infrastructure. Experts describe this tactic as part of Tehran’s longstanding strategy to manipulate global media and sway public opinion by risking civilian lives, including the use of child soldiers reportedly recruited as young as 12. The regime has been accused of positioning civilian sites as military shields and using propaganda to portray resilience while suppressing internal dissent. A Pentagon investigation was launched into a reported airstrike on an Iranian girls’ school that reportedly resulted in numerous casualties, although independent confirmation is lacking.

Scripture: Isaiah 10:1-2 (NASB 1977)
"Woe to those who enact evil statutes, And to those who constantly record unjust decisions, So as to deprive the needy of justice And rob the poor of My people of their rights, In order that widows may be their spoil, And that they may plunder the orphans."
Commentary:
Isaiah’s “woe” fits regimes that formalize injustice and then spend civilian lives to protect strategic assets. Using children as shields isn’t bravery. It’s cruelty. People watching this from nearby streets know the fear is immediate, not theoretical. The propaganda push and reported school-strike allegations show how narratives can be weaponized alongside missiles and ceasefires. This aligns with prophetic patterns Scripture describes where lawlessness hardens and rulers exploit the vulnerable while presenting strength to the world. Believers should value truth and refuse to applaud evil packaging.
Prophetic Trend:
As states weaponize civilians and media narratives, instability and moral inversion deepen, blurring combatant lines and intensifying global pressure around security, legitimacy, and power.

Just hours before the ceasefire deal went into effect on Tuesday between the U.S. and Iran’s clerical regime to pause fighting for two weeks, the regime urged young children and adults to surround Iranian energy facilities as human shields in reaction to President Trump's threat to wipe out its energy infrastructure.The thinking behind Iran’s regime's willingness to use children and civilians as cannon fodder, according to observers, is that an American airstrike that kills children or civilians will dramatically sway U.S. public opinion against the war and create a rally-round-the-regime effect in Tehran.And now with high-level peace talks due to start between the U.S. and Iran in Pakistan, Tehran can be seen as the godfather of propaganda when it comes to manipulating much of the world's media — even more skilled than its terror apprentice forces in Gaza and Lebanon.
