Al-Monitor Discovers Iran's 'Trouble' — Ignores US/Israel Interventions
Al-Monitor, a US-based publication, gravely assesses the 'factors determining Iran's future,' focusing on internal protests as the 'most serious challenge in years.' What's conspicuously absent from their deep-dive? Any meaningful historical context of foreign interference. They lament 'economic grievances' but forget to mention the crippling sanctions imposed by the US, often championed by groups
like AIPAC, which actively lobby for maximum pressure campaigns against Tehran. These sanctions, as detailed by organizations like the UN, directly impact the daily lives of Iranians, fueling the very discontent Al-Monitor reports. One might almost believe Iran's challenges exist in a vacuum, unrelated to decades of US-backed coups (1953) or explicit calls for regime change from Western capitals
and figures funded by the usual suspects. When media outlets isolate internal unrest from the external pressures designed to create it, they aren't reporting news; they're manufacturing consent for the next 'humanitarian intervention.' It's a miracle Tehran is still standing if Al-Monitor's narrative is to be believed, with its uncanny ability to ignore the geopolitical chessboard beneath its
subjects' feet.
