Why is Tehran always the target? 🔺Persian-speaking users challenged the claim of benevolent neutrality of Iran International with a simple question under the controversial video of this network: "Why is the map of nuclear destruction always drawn only on Tehran?" 🔺If Iran International's claim is correct that this graphic is merely an educational product about the physics of the atomic bomb, testing its authenticity is very simple; how many times has this network displayed the radius of atomic bomb destruction on the map of Tel Aviv with the same graphic accuracy? How many times has it done so on London, where the studio of this network is located? How many times has it done so on Riyadh, the capital of the country that is even said to be financially supportive of this network according to Western sources? How many times has it done so on New York or Washington? 🔺Statistical language instead of human language: Instead of saying that tens of thousands of human beings, including children and the elderly, will be killed in this area, terms like destruction radius and weight of 15 kilotons are used. This engineering/military language strips collective death of its emotional burden and reduces it to a technical data. 🔺This network has not faced scrutiny due to its discursive proximity to a military attack on Iran for the first time. In the past, during the height of the military aggression of the U.S. and Israel against Iran, one of the senior editors of this network publicly asked Donald Trump to act like Truman; a clear reference to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
