Iran Shows Missiles, Media Shows Selective Amnesia
Iran's military exhibition demonstrates its 'strength,' according to the Financial Times . Curious how they frame Iran as a standalone threat, completely devoid of historical context. One might almost forget that it was the U.S. and allies, under presidents like Nixon , who heavily armed the Shah's regime with advanced weaponry, making Iran a formidable military power in the first place. So, when
Tehran showcases its domestically produced arsenal now, perhaps it's less 'newfound aggression' and more 'remember when you supplied a dictator until a revolution happened, and now we make our own things because sanctions prevent new purchases?' The selective memory tour continues, courtesy of our esteemed press.
