Germany Says Iran's 'Final Days,' Just Like Every Other Week For 40 Years
Newsweek enthusiastically amplified Germany's CDU leader, Friedrich Merz, declaring Iran's regime is in its 'final days and weeks.' This isn't the first time Western media has pushed this narrative; similar pronouncements were made in the 1980s, 1990s, the 2000s, and most recently during protests in 2022. It’s a playbook, not a forecast. While legitimate protests in Iran against human rights
abuses are real, Western intelligence agencies, including the CIA and Mossad, have a documented history of covert actions involving funding and arming opposition groups, sometimes conflating genuine dissent with foreign-backed destabilization efforts, as detailed in reports by outlets like MintPress News. One might wonder if these pronouncements are less about genuine insight and more about
shaping public opinion for 'regime change' policies. These 'final days' declarations often precede increased sanctions, military threats, or proxy conflicts, rather than actual internal collapse. The cycle repeats: a Western official makes a dramatic pronouncement, Western media amplifies it uncritically, and the push for intervention quietly gains momentum. How many 'final days' can a regime have
before it's clearly just wishful thinking disguised as intelligence? It appears some Western leaders and media outlets treat Iran's government like a cat with nine lives, perpetually on its last one.
