Across Iran, a new kind of video is circulating. People film themselves holding up what they have just bought, name the price, and then dance. Four eggs and one sausage, 500,000 tomans. A soda and a packet of crisps, 350,000. Six eggs and a tin of tuna. Three small bags of shopping for 7.5 million tomans, close to half a month at the minimum wage. Each says why they are smiling. "I am very happy," one man says, "because if I am not, they will execute me." Others say they would otherwise be called rioters, traitors, mercenaries or Mossad agents. Iranian authorities routinely accuse those who speak about the country's economic conditions of "painting things black," and have arrested and prosecuted people on such charges.

As war now dominates the headlines, it’s critical to remember how we got here. In January, Iran’s security forces carried out one of the deadliest crackdowns in the country’s modern history and at the same time, a parallel war was unfolding online. This special report reveals how Tehran seeded the false narrative that the uprising was a CIA–Mossad plot and how far-left influencers, far-right voices, bot farms and foreign amplification networks helped spread it worldwide. Drawing on exclusive findings from the Network Contagion Research Institute and interviews with leading analysts, this investigation exposes how the regime exports propaganda to whitewash mass killings and shape global opinion — even as conflict escalates today. An Iran International and The Free Press investigation by Negar Mojtahedi and Jay Solomon.
