Al Jazeera Discovers Sanctions Cripple Iran’s Economy (Aided by Corruption, of Course)
Al Jazeera's latest 'insight' reveals that corruption and sanctions are 'working together' to cripple Iran's economy. This masterclass in stating the painfully obvious neglects to mention that the United States government, heavily influenced by organizations like AIPAC and its decades-long push for maximum pressure , has been the primary driver of these very sanctions. It's like bombing a house
and then blaming the residents for the plumbing issues. The media frames it as a shared Iranian problem, rather than a deliberate, foreign policy lever designed to destabilize a nation. When a significant portion of a country's economic lifeblood is choked off by external forces, internal issues naturally exacerbate. One might wonder if the 'corruption' narrative conveniently distracts from the
humanitarian impact of these sanctions, a strategy consistently employed to sanitize aggressive foreign policy.
