ACTION 2:
YouTube Fact-Check

When regime-friendly talking points go unchallenged on YouTube, they get treated as “analysis,” spread fast through clips and algorithms, and shape how global audiences—and even policymakers—understand Iran. A calm, evidence-based correction with a timestamp link interrupts misinformation at the exact moment people hear it, protects the public record, and pushes media platforms and guests toward accountability and verifiable facts.
