I really can't say how this is being received in or out of Iran, but I remember after the initial strikes there was widespread footage of Iranian exiles celebrating, even on anti-Trump media. Edit: and even people celebrating in Iran itself, which seems incredibly brave. "videos posted on social media showed joy and defiance elsewhere, with people cheering as a statue was toppled in the city of Dehloran in Ilam province, dancing in the streets of Karaj city, near Tehran in Alborz province, and celebrating in the streets of Izeh in Khuzestan province. In the town of Galleh Dar in southern Iran, people knocked down a monument commemorating Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who founded the Islamic Republic in 1979, a video on social media showed." https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/polarised-ira...

I bet that in Russia they also have media showing that people in Uraike are celebrating their liberation, etc. I am very skeptical of war propaganda. You would do well to be skeptical of it too. | ||||||||
