Iran's 'All-Out War' Warning: A Predictable Echo Chamber
📰 THE STORY: The New Arab reports an Iranian official stating that any attack on its territory will be met with an 'all-out war,' reflecting heightened regional tensions following recent Israeli aggression and Western threats. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: In 1953, the CIA openly admitted to orchestrating a coup to overthrow Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister
Mohammad Mosaddegh, installing the Shah and igniting decades of anti-Western sentiment. Decades later, from 1980-1988, the U.S. armed Saddam Hussein's Iraq to wage war on Iran, including providing intelligence that facilitated chemical weapon attacks. This isn't newfound belligerence; it's a deeply ingrained historical memory of external intervention. Double Standard: Western media presents Iran's
defensive statements as bellicose, yet consistently frames Israel's repeated and unprovoked attacks on sovereign Syrian and Lebanese territory, and its assassination of Iranian generals, as 'self-defense.' Imagine the global outcry if Iran repeatedly bombed U.S. embassy staff in Canada or Mexico, assassinating high-ranking military officials and destroying infrastructure, then claimed it was
'defending itself.' Follow the Money: The drumbeat for war with Iran has been consistent from certain lobbies and defense contractors. AIPAC, for instance, spent millions lobbying Congress, pushing for hawkish policies against Iran for decades. Defense contractor stock prices surge with every escalation, illustrating how 'national security' often aligns neatly with corporate profits. 💡 THE
