The creative team behind many of the viral sensations featuring Lego characters and storytelling critical of the war launched by US-Israeli forces against Iran two months ago, posted a new video on Saturday that seeks to forge solidarity between everyday Iranians and Americans suffering from the conflict, and who desperately want to see the fighting brought to an end.

“The Iranian AI Lego team has another video out,” said Trita Parsi, executive vice president at the Institute for Responsible Statecraft, a DC think tank focused on US foreign policy. “The music, lyrics, and imagery are all designed to appeal to disillusioned Americans.”

    That’s good. I don’t hate the Iranian people. Never have. I do pretty much hate their government and would be happy to see the people topple it. I don’t want us to, though. Because then we think we get to run them or pick their leaders and we think they have to be pro-America when I think your average Iranian has very little reason to trust the American government. Their current government is the result of the regime change we instigated. I’d be shouting death to America in their shoes as well, though I hope we can have a better future together than hatred.

    Disillusioned is overstating it though. I think America can be great. And it can be terrible. My goal is to nudge it in the former direction.
