The CIA installed Pahlavi, but he was bad. So the CIA installed Khomeini. Now he's bad, so back to a Pahlavi.

Maybe this shall be before the article, not in the "About Us" page.


This is quite rich coming from the FreePress which has devoted the last 2 years denying genocide in Gaza , denying famine in Gaza, or any crimes or fault on part of Israel.

TheFreePress is an Israeli-propaganda operation that was founded in 2021 by the ultra-zionist Bari Weiss and acquired by CBS and Paramount Skydance for 150 million dollars in 2025. Paramount Digital is owned David Ellison son of Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle. He also is a ultra-zionist and the largest private donor to Friends of the IDF. Bari Weiss herself has devoted her entire adult life as a hardline Israel-first advocate starting in Columbia in 2004 - When she was involved in 'Columbia Unbecoming' and 'Columbians for Academic Freedom' . Which was basically a campaign to get Palestinian and Pro-Palestinian professors fired claiming their lectures were 'intimidating' to Jewish students including herself while simultaneously preaching academic freedom and anti-wokeness. She was made the editor-in-chief of the newly-acquired CBS.

No doubt the FreePress is seeking to manufacture consent to embroil the US in another middle-eastern war.

“But other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?”

So you have nothing to say about the content?


Unreliable, biased propaganda. Disregard it.

I don't doubt that the Iranian regime has committed some atrocities during the recent protests. However, I would discount any person/source who - supported the Iraq war, cheered America/Israeli bombing of Iran in 2025 and has nothing to say about Israel's genocide in Gaza, as being a reliable source of information on Iran.
