Farhikhtegan is likely aligned with the Iranian government's perspective, thus may present a biased view against U.S. interventionist policies.

Farhikhtegan wrote in a commentary about the bitter outcome of Pete Hegseth’s dream: In the real world, wars are not measured by the scale of destruction; they are measured by their results. Forty days into the war, neither the regime change dream materialized, nor Iran’s ability to mount an effective defense was eliminated, nor did people come to the streets to overthrow the government.
