Western influencers are allegedly taking Iran-funded “influencer trips” to help sanitize one of the world’s most brutal regimes and this episode pulls back the curtain on the scandal in jaw-dropping detail. You’ll learn how Tehran may be paying foreign activists to spread propaganda, why this could violate US and UK sanctions law and how figures like Bushra Sheikh and Calla Walsh are being accused of shilling for the Islamic Republic while ignoring the suffering of Iranian women and dissidents. From massive global protests demanding regime change to explosive criticism of media silence and UN hypocrisy, host Emily Schrader explores the battle for truth, influence and freedom... and it leaves one question hanging: who in the West is helping Iran rewrite its image, and will anyone stop them?

I’ve seen some of those videos on You Tube, extolling Tehran Apartments, beautiful shots of the city, etc.
Babbling on about how NICE everything is in Iran.
Not even “thinly” veiled propaganda.
Islam dies.
Thanks to the Internet Islamic regimes can no longer hide the truth about Mad Moe's Mafia. It is not a coincidence that ISIS, the Taliban and now Iran are trying to censor the Internet. An Islamic regime with a revolution against Islam itself is unprecedented. After 14 centuries we may be witnessing the beginning of the end of this endless war of Islamic colonization.
My dad use to often say ‘Communism has not lost one square inch of territory’. He did not live to see the Soviet Union collapse. It was a wonderful thing to see its dark shadow lifted off the face of the World. We may be witnessing another evil finally on the retreat.
From your keyboard to G-d’s eyes.
I find the UK cracking down on dissent against Islam more disturbing. A giant that once ruled an empire where the Sun never set being reduced to yet another Islamic S*hole.
If Trump cuts a “Deal” with these Terrorists that leaves their Government in Power, he will lose this dedicated supporter. The only solution is a joint Military one with the Israelis that causes Regime Change.
Iran appears to be a modern country with a medieval government, and the Iranian people no doubt deserve better. Not sure it’s our job to do it for them, but if there’s some way we can help without getting sucked into yet another forever war in the mideast, it might be worth the effort. We have a score to settle with the mullahs from 1979 anyway.
Not so fast. If it looks liked this Revolution only succeeded because of American help you will lose its most important part: the rejection of Islam by its former victims. This is an event so important you want it to spread on its own. Just like the American Revolution eventually lit a firestorm of Revolutions in Europe.
The people of Iran have the very government their parents and grand parents rioted for back in 1979.
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it, and the Iranians got it good and hard.
I’m surprised Tehran wasn’t, yet,promoted by America-Last “just asking questions” Tucker Carlson..
The parents who did that deed are either ancient or dead now. And it was by no means unanimous, anymore than the anti-ICE rioters or the Floyd rioters were unanimous. They shouted down and threatened any dissenters.
If Trump cuts a “Deal” with these Terrorists that leaves their Government in Power, he will lose this dedicated supporter. The only solution is a joint Military one with the Israelis that causes Regime Change.
It’d be damned foolish, guaranteed to bite everyone in the a@@. America and Israel are the very ones to just keep looming around, threatening, throwing them off their game, making them do stupid things. Like Fischer vs. Spasky chess tourny. Any kinetic action should be the coup de gras, like the last straw at the end of the rainbow.
King Chuck is a muslim.
The Soviets are still there they just downsized a bit and rebranded, they still want their old territories back.
Our government overthrew the Shah. Not the Iranian people.
