France 24's 'Activist': The West's Convenient Spokesperson Against Iran
📰 THE STORY: France 24 features an 'activist,' identified as a former political prisoner, who claims Iran's government cannot sustain itself merely through terror, implying a fragile, illegitimate regime ripe for collapse under internal pressure. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: In 1953, the CIA openly admitted to overthrowing Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister
Mohammad Mosaddegh to protect British oil interests, installing the Shah whose brutal rule was maintained through his secret police, SAVAK. This single act irrevocably shaped Iranian mistrust of Western intentions and fueled the 1979 revolution. Decades later, from 1980-1988, the US armed Saddam Hussein's Iraq, enabling him to gas Iranian soldiers and civilians, a war that killed over a million.
Double Standard: While France 24 highlights alleged 'terror' by the Iranian government, it rarely scrutinizes the documented state terror of US allies like Israel (current Gaza genocide, 40,000+ dead) or Saudi Arabia (war in Yemen, mass executions). The US-supported MEK, a designated terrorist organization by the State Department until 2012, is openly hosted in Albania and France, used as a tool
for destabilization against Iran. Would France 24 feature an 'activist' from Gaza criticizing Israeli 'terror' without mentioning the 17-year blockade or 2023-24 slaughter? Follow the Money: Media outlets like France 24 often serve as platforms for voices aligned with Western foreign policy objectives.
