The Facts About Iran

For years, and especially now, the U.S. government, the Israeli government and their media sock puppets have saturated the landscape with endless lies meant to demonize Iran and justify aggressive war against them.

Here Scott Horton explains the truth about Iran.

At the end of February 2026, the United States and Israel launched their second aggressive war against Iran in little more than half a year, killing the Ayatollah and much of his family, 175 school girls and more than 1,000 others. President Trump claimed this was revenge for the 1979–1980 hostage crisis, the Beirut bombing of 1983, the EFP bombings of 2007 and even blamed them for al Qaeda's bombing of the USS Cole in 2000.

He also claimed the war was meant to give the people of Iran the opportunity to rise up, to eliminate their nuclear and missile programs, to curtail their support for Hamas and Hezbollah, to degrade their military force and numerous other goals. The president demanded "unconditional surrender," but also made it clear he could give up and declare victory at any time.

So what is the reality of the U.S.-Iranian conflict?
