Iranian Lego crushes US media hegemony
TEHRAN - Until just a few months ago, anyone who wanted to shape narratives around war and politics had to stand behind official podiums or have access to massive media networks.

This time, the game is unfolding on a field where the rules are no longer dictated solely in Washington or inside major studios.
