Predicting the “terminal decline” of the West and Israel to fuel demoralisation

What it claims

Israel and its Western allies are portrayed as forces in a state of inevitable collapse in the face of a new geopolitical reality. The campaign uses out-of-context expert commentary to convince Israelis of their state's helplessness and the inevitability of Iranian dominance.

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 US, Europe, and Israel are fighting a hopeless battle for influence in a rapidly changing world, vainly trying to preserve the remnants of their power in a dying era.

• Iran has established new rules of the game in the Middle East, taking control of strategic sea routes and turning its military gains into long-term political influence.

Goal

To sow despair about the country's future and undermine confidence in Israel's strategic alliances by suggesting the futility of resisting a “new world order.”

Techniques used

• Appeal to AuthorityUsing the names of professors and Israeli analysts to lend weight to claims about the “end of an era” for the West.
• Loaded LanguageUsing terms like a “dying era” or a “new equation” of regional dominance.

The real grievance it exploits

The narrative exploits the sense of international isolation and the anxiety of Israelis caused by a prolonged war of attrition and economic strain.

How to counter

• Technique exposure: Notice how Iranian outlets cherry-pick pessimistic forecasts from Western or Israeli experts to create an illusion of “universal consensus” on Israel's defeat.
