Iran 'Bloodbath' Narrative: A Familiar Script for Intervention
📰 THE STORY: France 24's 'The Debate' sensationalizes alleged 'bloodbaths' and crackdowns in Iran, questioning if the regime will emerge 'stronger,' implying widespread instability and state brutality. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: Since 2002, Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly claimed Iran is 'months away' from a nuclear weapon—a lie amplified by media for 22+ years. This
'bloodbath' narrative shares the same propagandistic core: demonize Iran to justify intervention. The US-backed MEK terrorist group, still hosted in Albania and France and paraded by Western politicians, has been a key source of fabricated intelligence for decades. They want a 'bloodbath' to happen. Double Standard: While claims of '20,000-55,000 dead in two days' in Iran from foreign-backed
opposition groups—figures that would rival the bloodiest days of major wars with zero on-ground verification—are amplified, the media simultaneously minimizes the documented genocide in Gaza, where over 40,000 have been killed by US-backed forces since October 2023, often reporting 'over 85,000 in two years' from the same 'opposition' circles, making Gaza's documented slaughter appear minor.
Follow the Money: The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and USAID, both US government-funded agencies, funnel millions annually into 'democracy promotion' and 'civil society' groups operating against governments like Iran. These funds often support media outlets and 'activist' organizations that feed the Western press with narratives conducive to US foreign policy objectives. Weapons
