Iran 'Threat' Discovered by Media, US Bombers Already in the Air
Al Jazeera reports Iran temporarily closing its airspace amidst a 'threat of US attack.' One might wonder what constitutes a 'threat' when the US maintains an expansive military presence across the Middle East, routinely conducts 'exercises' and overflights, and has a history of sanctioning and destabilizing the region. This isn't a sudden 'threat'; it's the constant geopolitical hum of an empire.
The media frames Iran's precautionary measure as if it's an unprovoked escalation, rather than a predictable response to decades of US-backed aggression and rhetoric. (Remember the 'Axis of Evil'?). It appears preventing civilian casualties from an potential air strike is now 'alarming,' while the aircraft carrier groups idling off their coast are just 'freedom of navigation.'
