I think what many people don't realize is that the target of this propaganda isn't the Iranian people, but American's and the west.

This isn't difficult to do with someone like Trump in power. They aren't shouting "Death to America" because they don't have to. They can easily position Trump as an enemy of the people, just as American's have done to the Ayatollah in the past.

In the West, I have always felt, we were in support of the Iranian people, but not the leadership which barely represented them. Now in the US, you have a similar dichotomy.

I don't think anyone in the west is hoping for a stronger Iran, but we're also not wishing for a stronger America.

Note: I'm Canadian, but have lived in the US and have much of my family in the US
