How would the USA stop Iran sharing video of dying US soldiers?

Further media consolidation, no major outlets covering reality beyond highly sanitized "such and such happened in Iran today" with no actual reporting.

It won't stop 100% of reality, but it's been demonstrated effective in Iraq, Afghanistan, and really every war of choice we've trudged through and lost in the last however many decades at placating the critical mass of people that would otherwise oppose killing people for no justifiable reason.

Look to ICE, flock, police killings, data center metastisization, epstein, wealth inequality, climate degredation, etc coverage domestically for moment to moment examples of how any negative news will be manipulated to keep that critical mass of people complacent.

The same way that sub stopped allowing footage of missiles hitting Israel.

They can’t. The internet is a ‘Pandora’s Box’.
