Iranian videos go viral across the world, win war of narratives

Econews, According to Al Jazeera, analysts suggest that these viral Iranian video products, despite being low-budget, are high-quality and effective. They are successfully alerting and unifying global audiences regarding the long history of US-led conflicts across the globe.

“They’re just calling it the ‘Epstein regime’, and that’s a domestic fissure that they’re choosing to bring forward again. They’re also using, like, the election MAGA tropes and being subordinate to Israeli interests, so in that the way they’re doing it, it seems like fun, but it’s really, really smart,” Fasi Zaka, a Pakistani social commentator, told Al Jazeera.

Marc Owen Jones, a professor at Northwestern University in Qatar who specializes in media analysis, also told Al Jazeera that Iran’s efforts to win the war of narratives are a crucial component of its broader strategy. “Ultimately, the Iranian Lego videos are very good,” Jones said.

“They’re actually well thought out. There’s a lot of details in them. There’s actually a narrative. Whereas US propaganda is just, you know, explosions with Hollywood films cut through them.”
