Iran's Tit-for-Tat 'Terror' Label Exposes Western Hypocrisy
📰 THE STORY: Following the European Parliament's resolution pushing to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a 'terrorist organization,' Iran swiftly retaliated. The Iranian Parliament voted to consider the European armies as 'terrorist groups,' reflecting a direct tit-for-tat escalation in rhetoric and legal posturing. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context:
The designation of Iran's military or political entities as 'terrorist' by Western powers is not new, nor is it based on a neutral assessment. In 1953, the CIA openly admitted its role in orchestrating a coup against Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, installing the Shah and paving the way for decades of Western-backed authoritarian rule. This foundational act of
foreign interference cemented Iranian mistrust of Western intentions, long before any 'terrorist' labels. Double Standard: Western media often frames the IRGC designation as a response to Iranian 'malign activities' across the region, yet remains largely silent on the persistent 'malign activities' of European or American forces. When Iranian state media declares European armies as 'terrorist,'
it's dismissed as mere propaganda. However, when the US designated the IRGC in 2019, American media universally validated it as a legitimate response to alleged threats. The EU's own involvement in conflicts, such as the 2011 NATO intervention in Libya which resulted in the collapse of the state and burgeoning slave markets, goes untagged by these same 'terrorist' designations.
