Widening to Iran
Luntz report devotes a chapter to it: 'The Language of Tackling a Nuclear Iran'; standard framing of Hamas as 'Iran-backed' in every context.
How it works
A question about specific conduct — a strike, a demolition, a settler attack — is relocated into a civilizational struggle with Iran, where any local action becomes regrettable-but-necessary. Scale substitution: you asked about a village; the answer is about an empire.
How to recognize it
Iran arrives in answers to questions that weren't about Iran.
How to answer it
Grant the geopolitics exist, then restore the scale: 'Iran is a real subject. The question was about this documented incident, which Iran didn't commit.' Return to the receipt.
