DW Predicts Iran's Sanction-Induced Woes, Omits Who Imposed Sanctions
Deutsche Welle, in a stunning display of selective amnesia, forecasts Iran's grim 2026, citing “protests, inflation, and sanctions.” What the article studiously avoids mentioning is that many of these 'protests' and 'inflation' are direct consequences of those very sanctions – sanctions largely architected and enforced by Western powers, including the United States. This isn't a natural disaster;
it's engineered economic strangulation. It's like reporting on a person starving to death while neglecting to mention you're the one holding the sandwich. How many 'problems' can one nation endure before we acknowledge who's pulling the levers of misery? The media consistently frames the fallout from Western coercive measures as inherent Iranian dysfunction, rather than what it often is: blowback
from deliberate policy choices.
