The West won the headlines - Iran changed history
COA- Wars are fought twice. The first battle is fought with missiles, bombers and soldiers. The second is fought with headlines, television studios, think tanks and official briefings. The first destroys cities. The second constructs memory. For decades the West has excelled at winning both. Military superiority was reinforced by informational dominance. Washington and its allies not only projected power across continents; they largely shaped the language through which that power was understood. They decided who was the aggressor, who was the defender, whose violence was regrettable and whose violence was unforgivable. They possessed not merely armies but the authority to define reality.

For many Arbaeen pilgrims, every step honors martyred Ayatollah Khamenei
He described the ‘magnetic attraction’ that drew the first pilgrim to visit Karbala on Arbaeen; now his own martyrdom has fused with that gravity

They were fluent in the sterile language of decapitation. They were blind to the mechanics of martyrdom. Look at the road from Najaf to Karbala. This is the first Arbaeen since American and Israeli warplanes ignited the current war. The pilgrims did not scatter.
