The Spin

Anti-Iran narrative

Iran-backed militias undermine Iraq’s sovereignty, fuel regional instability, and threaten American and allied forces. Disarming them is key to restoring state authority, curbing Tehran’s influence, and ensuring lasting peace and security in the region.

New York Post

Pro-Iran narrative

Allied fighters are vital resistance forces defending the region from U.S. occupation and Israeli aggression. These groups protect sovereignty, deter foreign domination, and represent grassroots opposition to Western interference in the Middle East.
