The Narrative Shift: Regime’s Propaganda Post-January 2026
The Role of Media and Propaganda in Anniversary Narratives
In the digital age, the regime’s propaganda efforts extend beyond physical rallies to include social media campaigns, televised speeches, and online commemorations. State media outlets and official social media accounts amplify images and messages of unity, strength, and revolutionary fervor.
Digital Propaganda Strategies
- Sharing high-quality images and videos of large crowds, military displays, and national symbols.
- Creating hashtags and online campaigns that celebrate revolutionary achievements and criticize foreign adversaries.
- Suppressing or censoring dissenting voices that challenge the official narrative.
International Outreach
Iranian diplomatic missions and media outlets abroad also participate in anniversary celebrations, seeking to project an image of strength and resilience globally. These efforts aim to counteract international criticism and reinforce Iran’s narrative of resistance and sovereignty.
