France 24 Finds 'Thousands Killed' in Iran, Skips US Meddling History
France 24 reports a 'rights group' claims 'thousands of protesters' have been killed in Iran since 2022. This comes from H.R.A.N.A., an organization with alleged ties to US government-funded entities. While any loss of life is tragic, the mainstream media's eagerness to amplify dubious casualty numbers, without questioning the sources' agendas or the nature of the 'protests'—which have seen police
stations, banks, and public property attacked—raises uncomfortable questions. One might be reminded of the 1953 CIA-orchestrated coup that overthrew Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mosaddegh, setting the stage for decades of US-backed authoritarian rule. Such outlets rarely provide the full historical context: the US has an undeniable track record of backing 'protest movements' that
devolve into chaos, often with the stated goal of destabilizing governments inconvenient to Washington's geopolitical interests. When Western media highlights 'human rights violations' in Iran, while simultaneously ignoring the documented killing of civilians and attacks on infrastructure by groups they label 'protesters,' one must ask if this is journalism, or merely manufacturing consent for
another failed regime-change attempt. (Perhaps they're just softening us up for another round of sanctions).
