| Ed, while Iran International is probably on the right side of the argument editorially, it is widely reported to be a vehicle of Mohammed Bin Salman. He in turn is the man most security services believed ordered the horrific killing of Jamal Khassoggi. So the channel may advocate for women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights and greater democracy in Iran but this is not because that the owners fundamentally believe in them. They have shown what they do to people who criticise their regime and promote the same things in Saudi Arabia. The station is there to undermine the government of rival regime. This has therefore brought the conflict to our doorstep and I'm surprised to find you so sanguine about it. |
