BBC Slips in ‘Mistranslated’ Propaganda to Radically Alter Hegseth Speech on Iran
8th March 2026
The BBC has been caught yet again manipulating comments from the Trump administration to radically alter their meaning.
During a March 2 press conference about the war in Iran, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said that the United States is bringing death to the same regime that chanted “death to America.”
BBC Persia, however, substituted the word ‘people’ for ‘regime’ – fundamentally changing Hegseth’s meaning to sound like America was targeting all Iranians vs. the regime.
No doubt the BBC considers the two words synonymous.
