The Issue

**Seyed Mohammad Marandi: A Voice of Propaganda**

It’s personal for me because Seyed Mohammad Marandi, an individual frequently brought on as a "guest expert" by major news networks, has strong affiliations with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a notorious entity recognized globally for its support of terrorism. His presence on these platforms is not just questionable; it is irresponsible. The IRGC has been cited by numerous international bodies for promoting and executing acts of terrorism worldwide, often under the guise of promoting ideological narratives. By continually providing Marandi with a platform, prominent news networks become complicit in spreading IRGC propaganda, which leads to the normalization of views that harm global peace and security.

**The Real Threat**

According to the U.S. Department of State, the IRGC is the main actor behind Iran’s state-sponsored terrorism, supplying militant groups like Hezbollah with resources and ideological backing. The narratives pushed by individuals such as Marandi give legitimacy to actions that have cost countless lives and continue to pose risks to international stability. The question that begs answering is: how can we allow views that support and further agendas of violent entities to masquerade as expert opinions?

**Media Responsibility**

Major media networks have a profound responsibility to their audiences and the international community. By providing Marandi with airtime, they inadvertently offer him a cloak of credibility that veils unspeakable agendas. It is imperative for these networks to critically assess the backgrounds of their "experts" and consider the potential implications of airing harmful propaganda under the guise of "expert analysis."

**Concrete Actions for Change**

1. Conduct thorough background checks on all guests, especially those representing nations or entities with known terrorist affiliations.
2. Develop a more transparent vetting process before bringing on "expert" guests.
3. Commit to promoting voices that seek to build peace, rather than those sowing discord and masked propaganda.

**Your Role**

By signing this petition, you are taking a critical step towards holding media networks accountable. Our collective voice can urge them to live up to their core values of integrity and responsibility. Let’s reject the broadcasting of narratives that promote terror and normalize violent ideology. Join me in demanding accountability, transparency, and a dedication to global harmony. Together, we can ensure that our media reflects truth and peace, rather than hidden propaganda.

Sign this petition to stop major news networks from hosting Seyed Mohammad Marandi and protect the integrity of information shared worldwide.
