Repeating Iraq War PROPAGANDA?

26. June 2025

In this video, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald draws parallels between past and present war rhetoric, arguing that Israel’s justification for military action against Iran mirrors earlier claims about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction. He critiques what he describes as recycled war propaganda, including Prime Minister Netanyahu’s assertions about Iran’s nuclear threat, contrasting them with recent U.S. intelligence assessments that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons. Greenwald also reflects on the broader consequences of such narratives, emphasizing their role in enabling military interventions with devastating civilian costs.
