Needs a full rewrite[edit]

I was about to drop a non-neutral tag, but thankfully user Fram beat me to it. This entire article solely relies on non-English sources, amongst them in all likelihood a very large quantity of non-WP:RS material. It reads as a page from a playbook of the post-1979 IRI establishment. It literally parrots the official stance of the post-1979 Iranian regime, word for word verbatim; the IRI is great and infallible, whilst the US is wrong on everything. - LouisAragon (talk) 15:14, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For example: "After the 1979 revolution and the cut off US access to Iran's oil resources, the US government has always spread a kind of cognitive parasite towards Islamic Republic of Iran in the world.[38]" - LouisAragon (talk) 15:14, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Or: " In this regard, the United States, with its media power, has always pursued a kind of cultural diplomacy towards Iran, in which it creates a bad mentality among the people about the Iranian government, because the Iranian government has always been opposed to the colonial temperament of the US government in Iran and the Middle East.[40]" - LouisAragon (talk) 15:27, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed there are major issues with both the writing and sourcing - I will start removing content that are not directly relevant to the subject and for sections that can be retained, replace non-English sources. W9793 (talk) 23:04, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
