ALBAWABA - A video circulating online shows posters hung up in Tehran encouraging young men to enlist with Hezbollah for a lucrative $1000 a month.
The video was quickly picked up and reposted by pro-Israeli accounts on social media, in an attempt to discredit Iran’s current peacemaking talks with the U.S., which they see as a win for Iran.
The posters come as Hezbollah suffers severe casualties from Israeli bombing in southern Lebanon. Aside from $1000, the offer also includes housing, food, and total preparation for those who apply.
The pay and the benefits are considered quite lucrative in Iran as it undergoes a currency crisis, with the average salary in the country around $140.
However, concerns are raised regarding the authenticity of the video as it makes the rounds on pro-Israel X, with many wondering if the posters are a false flag plant backed by Mossad in Iran. This is very well within Israel's playbook, as an Israeli mole in Iran is reported to have confirmed former Hezbollah leader Nasrallah’s position before the IDF bombed it.
Whether the video reflects a real initiative by the IRGC to recruit for Hezbollah during its peace talks with the U.S., or whether the posters were put up by a mole, filmed, and taken down again in a false flag propaganda operation, is still unclear.
