"Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran's last shah, stated at CPAC, 'Can you imagine Iran going from 'Death to America' to 'God bless America?' President Trump is making America great again. I intend to make Iran great again.' This statement reflects a pro-war stance that is not representative of the majority of Iranian Americans."
"Corporate media outlets have regularly featured pro-monarchy, pro-war Iranians to convince viewers that Iranian Americans support using tax dollars for bombing Iran. However, polling consistently shows that most Iranian Americans oppose the war."
"The war on Iran is deeply unpopular among the general U.S. population, with only about a quarter of voters supporting it from the outset. This lack of support highlights a disconnect between media narratives and public opinion."
The war on Iran faces significant opposition from both Iranian Americans and the general U.S. population. Pro-monarchy figures like Reza Pahlavi have been promoted by corporate media, despite their lack of support for the Iranian people. Pahlavi's calls for war and consolidation of power contrast sharply with polling that shows most Iranian Americans do not support military action. Only a small fraction of U.S. voters have backed the war, indicating widespread discontent with the conflict.
