Fox News Discovers Iran, Reinforces 22-Year Old Nuke Narrative
📰 THE STORY: Fox News reports on satellite images showing 'new activity' at purported Iranian nuclear sites, claiming these sites were 'bombed by US and Israeli strikes in 2025' – a curious temporal anomaly likely a typo for past, undeclared operations or an accidental leak of future plans. The article suggests Iran is trying to 'obscure' its activities, echoing long-standing fears about Iran's
nuclear program. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The claim that Iran is 'months from a nuclear weapon' has been a persistent narrative pushed by Benjamin Netanyahu since at least 2002, consistently proving false. For example, in 2012, Netanyahu dramatically presented a cartoon bomb to the UN, claiming Iran was 90% of the way to fissile material. That was 12 years ago. The
media also conveniently ignores the 1953 CIA coup that overthrew Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, installing the Shah and sowing decades of anti-Western sentiment. The US also armed Saddam Hussein during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War. Double Standard: Western media treats any Iranian nuclear activity as an existential threat, often ignoring the fact that Israel, a
non-signatory to the NPT, possesses an undeclared nuclear arsenal estimated at 80-400 warheads. The US maintains one of the largest nuclear stockpiles globally. The West rarely frames its own or Israel's nuclear capabilities as a global threat needing 'bombing' or 'obscurity' narratives. Follow the Money: War drums for Iran aren't just for show.
