Fox Fears Iran's Retaliation, Ignores Israel's Provocation
The sudden 'rising tensions' narrative, as spun by outfits like Fox, conveniently forgets Israel's documented strike on Iran's diplomatic consulate in Damascus, Syria, on April 1, killing senior Quds Force commanders. This wasn't a random act; it was a brazen violation of international law. Funny how when a US embassy is attacked, it's an act of war, but when an Iranian consulate is bombed by a US
ally (using US weaponry), it's just 'tensions.' We're told to fear Iran's response, but never to question the initial assault. The U.S. is the world's largest supplier of military aid to Israel, providing $3.8 billion annually, along with approving additional arms sales, including F-35 fighter jets used in strikes like the Damascus one. So, when Iran inevitably retaliates (as any sovereign nation
would after an attack on its diplomatic soil), who's really escalating? One might wonder if the sudden media panic about travel warnings isn't less about genuine concern and more about manufacturing consent for another Middle Eastern entanglement.
