The US-Israeli war on Iran has now entered its second month. From the carnage on the ground to the chaos rippling throughout the global economy, the consequences of this disastrous, bloody, and unnecessary conflict—including many dead bodies—are piling up daily. “More than 2,000 people have been killed and thousands of civilian sites have been targeted in the US-Israeli attacks on Iran since February 28,” Al Jazeera reports. Many of the 13 US military bases near Iran have been reportedly rendered “all but uninhabitable” after Iran’s retaliatory strikes. 

President Donald Trump and his administration have continued to obfuscate, flip flop, and bluster their way through the morass they’ve made, from claiming that “we’ve won this war,” to baselessly suggesting that a deal with Iran to end the war will come soon, to sending thousands more troops to the Middle East to prepare for what many fear will be a ground invasion.  

For people in the Western Hemisphere in general, and for people in the US specifically, it is infuriatingly difficult to get accurate and honest information about what the hell is actually happening in this war. The Trump regime and its vast media network of corporate and “independent” propagandists have proven time and again that they will not tell the public the truth. The majority of oligarch-owned news media outlets and social media platforms have likewise shown a systematic propensity for filling our newsfeeds and brains with half-truths, AI slop, or empire-serving schlock masquerading as serious analysis, all while simultaneously suppressing or invisibilizing realities and perspectives they don’t want the public to see. 

That is why it is so vital for us at TRNN to ensure that our viewers have access to serious, on-the-ground reporting from Iran, so you can see and hear the truth for yourself. If you, like us, are searching for credible sources providing essential on-the-ground coverage, then we highly recommend you check out the Reason2Resist YouTube channel, which is hosted by award-winning Canadian journalist and former TRNN board member Dimitri Lascaris. From Gandhi Hospital in Tehran and the Strait of Hormuz to the frontline city of Bushehr, Lascaris is reporting from Iran right now to show the sides of war that corporate media won’t.
