Fox News Discovers 'Criminal' Leaders Exist, But Only Abroad
According to Fox News, Khamenei attributes the 'deadly protests' sweeping Iran directly to Trump. (Because, naturally, widespread civil unrest couldn't possibly have any complex domestic roots when there's an American to blame.) This framing sidesteps decades of documented US interference, including the 1953 CIA-orchestrated coup that overthrew Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad
Mosaddegh, installing the Shah and sowing the seeds of deep-seated anti-Western sentiment. Suddenly, when it’s an adversary claiming foreign meddling, it's dismissible rhetoric – unlike when US politicians warn solemnly of 'foreign influence' on their own electoral processes. One might almost think global powers only ever act with pure, altruistic motives, and never deploy covert operations or
support opposition groups in rival nations. The sheer audacity of a leader alleging external manipulation of internal affairs, (a tactic the US has perfected over generations), is just... shocking. How many times must the US playbook for 'regime change' be executed before the media stops feigning surprise when targets catch on?
