Bloomberg Discovers Iran Has 'Proxies' After Decades of US Intervention
Bloomberg's latest dispatch on Iran frames its regional alliances as a calculated, decades-long strategy for 'this type of moment'—a besieged Islamic Republic. They conveniently omit the 'moments' preceding this: the 1953 CIA-backed coup against Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mosaddegh, the U.S. backing of Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq War, and the countless sanctions and
threats since. It's almost as if continuous foreign intervention creates a desire for self-defense and alliances. Funny how that works. One might wonder if a nation under constant external threat and internal meddling (Mossad/CIA assets are widely reported to be on the ground, engaging in sabotage and violence, which the Western media often conflates with legitimate protest) might seek operational
depth beyond its borders. The 'menace' is apparently any group resisting U.S. and Israeli hegemonic interests, regardless of local grievances. Washington's narrative demands that any pushback to U.S.-led 'democracy' (read: corporatocracy) be labeled as a 'proxy' of an 'evil' state. How many more regime-change playbook iterations must we endure before the media connects these dots?
