Iranian media, like all media outlets in the word, are not perfect. Some of them deserve a solid kick in the butt, though. One of the news reporters did not do his research, ending up being the butt of the joke for half of the world for his failure. He reported about something with footage that is absolutely irrelevant to his topic. Headshots are fine but not if you just take the video from Medal of Honor. This is how you misinform your people.

The Iranian and Saudi media believed that this video is a sniper of Hezbollah where he fights off ISIS soldiers with his sniper rifle. One of the Iranian outlets pointed out that it was made with a local weapon, namely the Arash.

However, the video shows US soldiers fighting in Afghanistan in Medal of Honor. This footage became misinterpreted in the Middle East: the player systematically gets rid of enemies with his sniper… but there are a few fatal mistakes. First, the video was recorded with either a camera or a phone. Second, you can clearly see the crosshair and the HFOU letters from the game.

Good job.
