The paper intends to use Manuel Castells’ model as introduced in his book entitled “Communication Power” - networks of mind and power based on body language and neurology studies conducted by Antonio Damasio and cascade activation model done by Robert Entman to study the Americans in support of the war against Iraq with lack of required evidence and logic – to study the US exploitation of the media in achieving success with regards to Iran’s nuclear program. Therefore, the main hypothesis states that the USA had made a lot of efforts to capture minds of its people and so to introduce Iran’s nuclear activities a threatening factor and by this effort to disrupt those activities. The period to be studies covers the American relevant activities before President Obama takes power in the country.
