I kinda wonder why Iran isn’t pushing a lot harder to manipulate public opinion.

They do. I have seen public statements by Iranian officials, and even memes (mostly AI), here on lemmy.

But they’re mostly in Parsi and Arabic, since that’s the audience they care about. Iran is trying to end the US threat against them, which probably means removing US bases in the Middle East and getting the Gulf powers on their side. So they don’t talk about rising fuel prices, they talk about Palestine, the massacre of the schoolgirls, and freedom in general.
