The Iranian Regime Is Losing a Propaganda War on at Least Two Fronts<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Ali-Khmenei-and-Hassan-Rouhani\"
Ali Khmenei and Hassan Rouhani<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Iranian regime\u2019s propaganda has been losing steam for years. Efforts to downplay the coronavirus outbreak have only accelerated that process. There is an ever-widening gulf between the official infection rates and fatality figures on one hand, and independent assessments of the situation on the other. This, of course, means that it is increasingly difficult to sell the\u00a0regime\u2019s\u00a0official narrative to the public since doing so requires them to deny the evidence of their own eyes and ears.<\/p>\n

Recent remarks by former Majlis member Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh have triggered a new wave of infighting among Iranian officials, which further highlights the disarray plaguing the senior ranks of the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n

Most notable among the reactions to Falahatpisheh\u2019s remarks, who acknowledged that the regime might have spent $20-30 billion on the war in Syria, was a piece written by Hossein Shariatmadari, the editor-in-chief of\u00a0Keyhan daily, known for reflecting the views and opinions of regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0remarks published by the state-run Etemad Online<\/a>, Falahatpisheh, who formerly chaired the National Security and Foreign Affairs Commission of the Majlis, said, \u201cWe may have given $20-30 billion to Syria. The money of this nation was spent there.\u201d<\/p>\n
