“The Iran I Wasn’t Prepared to Meet: The seed that we carry with us. That's how propaganda works”

by Liz-Loh Taylor in Immersive Journalusm, Unflinching Stories on Substack

“This essay is not an attempt to prove that everything said about Iran is false. It is not a defence of every institution, every policy or every political leader. It is about what happens when a country refuses to resemble the version you have been taught.

I arrived believing I had already questioned the stories I had inherited.

I had travelled to Iran expecting to challenge Western narratives.
I had not expected to challenge my own.

By the time I left Iran, I understood that unlearning was not simply a matter of rejecting the stories imposed upon us. It also meant confronting the traces they had left behind”
