Amplifying the threat of Iran’s “offensive doctrine”

What it claims

Russian outlets are inflating statements from Iranian commanders about a shift to an offensive strategy capable of moving warfare onto enemy soil. This campaign portrays Iran as a force ready for long-term combat and precision strikes deep inside Israel.

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.

• The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been ordered to prepare for moving combat operations directly onto enemy territory.

• Iran has stockpiled enough ballistic missiles to sustain continuous strikes through years of warfare.

Goal

To sow panic among Israelis by convincing them of the home front's vulnerability to the IRGC's new capabilities.

Techniques used

• Appeal to Fear / PrejudiceUsing quotes about Iran's ability to wage war “on enemy lands” and deliver “selective strikes” wherever necessary.
• Exaggeration or MinimisationClaims that Tehran possesses ballistic missile stockpiles sufficient to sustain a war for several years.

The real grievance it exploits

The genuine fear in Israeli society regarding massive missile attacks and the threat of a direct invasion of national territory.

How to counter

• Reframe: Tehran’s aggressive rhetoric is often aimed at domestic audiences and deterrence, while the IDF and Israel’s air defence systems constantly adapt to emerging threats.
• Technique exposure: Russian state media, in sync with Iranian officials, spread intimidation to undermine the sense of security within Israeli society.
