Amplifying fear of Iran’s missile power in Hebrew-language posts

What it claims

Threats of retaliatory strikes and statements about new missiles are presented as evidence of Iran’s unbeatable strength. Hebrew-language Fars Today posts reduce Iranian officials’ remarks about Washington, military facilities and wartime calculations to a picture of Tehran’s complete superiority. Rhetoric about “invincibility” is stretched into a prediction of defeat for any opponent.

Target audience

Examples (paraphrased)

We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.

• A strike on Iranian assets will bring a response that disables an opponent’s military bases.

• Iran’s new missiles have already delivered a clear warning to Washington.

Goal

To intimidate Israel’s home-front audience and reduce its readiness to scrutinise threats coming from Iranian state sources.

Techniques used

• Appeal to AuthorityStatements by Iranian military figures and officials are presented as conclusive confirmation of the country’s missile superiority.
• Appeal to Fear / PrejudiceA strike on Iranian assets is linked to a response said to disable an opponent’s military bases.

The real grievance it exploits

People’s fear in Israel of missile strikes and anxiety for loved ones’ safety during regional escalation.

How to counter

• Technique exposure: Citing an official is not independent confirmation of the capabilities being claimed. A Hebrew-language post from an Iranian state source is not an official notice from Israeli services either.
• Prebunk: After anticipated tensions around strikes and missiles, further posts may portray Iranian official statements as a definitive picture of events. It is worth separating deterrence rhetoric from information confirmed by relevant sources.
