Iranian State Media Celebrates Man Who “Shot Down Enemy Drones” With a Rifle – Wait Until You Hear the Hilarious Irony (Video)

Iranian state media thought they had a heroic story on their hands: a brave civilian who single-handedly shot down five “enemy” drones using nothing but a hunting rifle. They ran the interview, praised the man as a patriot, and used it to boost morale during the ongoing war.

There was just one problem.

The drones he shot down weren’t American or Israeli — they were Iran’s own IRGC drones. The man was arrested by the very regime that celebrated him. Brutal self-own. They’re dangerous, but they’re also not the brightest.

This is peak Iranian propaganda in action. The regime is so desperate to show strength that they accidentally turned one of their own citizens into a “hero” for destroying their own equipment. Once the truth came out, the story disappeared and the man was hauled away. It perfectly captures how badly things are going for the mullahs right now.

After weeks of devastating U.S. and Israeli strikes under Operation Epic Fury, Iran’s leadership is scrambling. Their military is crippled, their top commanders are gone, and their propaganda machine is reduced to celebrating friendly fire incidents as great victories.

This isn’t the sign of a regime in control — it’s the sign of a regime collapsing under pressure and trying to hide it with increasingly ridiculous lies. The Iranian people see through it, and so does the rest of the world.

The mullahs can keep pumping out fake victories and AI-generated imagery all they want. The truth keeps slipping out, and every self-own makes them look weaker.
