“‘Top Gun: Maverick’ is a movie where our heroes are trying to start World War III,” he writes. “The US military is selecting pilots for a bombing run over an Iranian nuclear facility near completion, one which was built ‘in violation’ of an internationally-recognized treaty. This, of course, is the exact opposite of what happened in real life: the US violated the JCPOA agreement with Iran, and the Iranian government continued to obey it even when we no longer were.”
At no point in the movie did any character admit that Iran is the enemy in question, but the fact that the target is an uncompleted uranium enrichment site eliminates China, Russia, and North Korea from the list of possibilities, making it a realistic potential allusion to the country. However, this movie is clearly set on fictional geopolitical stage. Temporary suspension of reality is key to its enjoyment.
