Support Zeteo's Coverage of the Illegal War on Iran
If you've liked what you're seeing, help us do more of it – so we can fight the bias, racism, and warmongering in so much of the mainstream media’s coverage of this conflict.
Dear Zeteo subscribers,
Many of you have been closely following the devastating – and illegal – US-Israeli war on Iran and the Iranian retaliation. This could be one of the most cataclysmic political events of the decade, with ramifications far beyond our understanding today.
We know you have many options for where to get your news and analysis… and you’ve likely seen problems with all of them:
CNN, where they take the Israeli government’s line of calling them “preemptive strikes” and will say an Iranian hospital was hit, but not who hit it.
The BBC, where they just say Iranians ‘are dead’ – Because of who? How? – while Israelis were clearly killed by an Iranian strike.
The Atlantic, where they literally said Netanyahu built a career on ‘conflict avoidance’.
Or The New York Times, where they’re using the same passive language they use for Palestinians when describing Iranians being killed, versus centering the perpetrator when Israelis are killed.
We at Zeteo see all of this. And we take our responsibility to cover this consequential war with journalistic integrity very seriously. We want to cover it holistically, contextually, truthfully, and with uncompromised perspectives and voices who aren’t favoring political agendas, billionaires, or foreign governments.
Here’s some of what we’ve done so far on this war:
Mehdi, Prem, and Asawin did a live Town Hall on the day of the strikes, and were joined by two Iranian-American voices who have offered sharp analysis: the Quincy Institute’s Trita Parsi and Center for International Policy’s Negar Mortezavi.
We explicitly said what needed to be said – and explained why it was the case, something mainstream media is still avoiding doing.
Iranian-American author and academic Narges Bajoghli wrote about what US media has totally failed to understand: the significance of Ali Khamenei beyond his political position, why he’s unlike other leaders he’s been compared to, and why his assassination has caused a backlash beyond the borders of Iran.
Harrison Mann, a former U.S. army officer and intelligence official who resigned in protest over Gaza, wrote about the lies surrounding this war.
Zeteo contributor Fatima Bhutto wrote about the strike on the Iranian school with a kind of compassion and righteous anger we wish we saw elsewhere in the media.
