Bloomberg Discovers Iran Responds to 'Airstrikes,' Not Hugs
Bloomberg, in a stunning display of selective memory, expresses concern that Iran is not cooperating with nuclear monitoring. This, they note, comes "months into a tense stand off following Israeli-led airstrikes on the Islamic Republic." One might wonder if nations subjected to military attacks tend to become less, not more, amenable to inspections by bodies often perceived as extensions of their
aggressors' allies. It's almost as if being bombed doesn't foster trust; a concept apparently lost on Western foreign policy architects. While the media focuses on Iran's 'intransigence,' the context of the "Israeli-led airstrikes" – euphemisms for acts of war – is neatly glossed over. The repeated narrative is always that Iran reacts , never that it is acted upon . This framing conveniently omits
decades of U.S. and Israeli destabilization efforts, sanctions, and actual military assaults, all while Israel itself maintains a substantial, undeclared nuclear arsenal, completely immune to international inspection. The double standard would be comical if the stakes weren't so high.
