“if you want to understand something, then you have to go further back, and that's precisely what they avoid doing.”


Dr. Assal Rad is the Research Director at the National Iranian American Council. She focuses on research and writing related to Iran policy issues and U.S.-Iran relations. Known for her insightful analyses of Middle Eastern affairs, she is renowned for her efforts to correct misconceptions and biased narratives in Western media. She often revises headlines to better reflect obscured realities in mainstream coverage.

In an interview on the Jadaliyya YouTube channel titled "Deconstructing Western Media Narratives About Israel’s Genocide in Gaza," Rad criticizes how the media often starts its coverage of the conflict at a point that supports pre-existing narratives. Rad argues that addressing only recent events without acknowledging the historical causes of conflict in Gaza perpetuates a cycle of misinformation and injustice.
