Watch: Iranian rapper celebrates nuclear power from the deck of a warship

That was pretty dope, yo.

Sorry if my lingo is out of date, I'm not sure exactly what words are in fashion right now.

As a PSYOPer, I am going to say, this obviously is a high quality product. The fact that the Washington Post became a medium for delivering it is a sign of a successful information operation campaign by Iran. Nothing leaves Tehran and makes it on YouTube with Iranian Military support (watch video again). Now instead of mocking the method of delivery, we must admit that we are lagging behind in our IO, we have become too conventional for our own good. Even ISIS have been successful in IO and all we want to do is shoot them with rockets. General Odierno said it well, we must be prepared to deal with a new complex battle space. This requires change. Sadly, very few in leadership are willing to accept changes that would be appreciated in this new complex battle space. So what, the Iranians used a rapper. Have we become so conventional to realize that Hip-Hop or Rap music is a powerful tool. I think so. I smell it and feel it. Remember: Iran's media and even entertainment is a carefully calculated and deliberate campaign. The game of Chess was first promoted after the conquest by the Sassanid or neo-Persian Empire. Where do you think that was?

That was cool.
