Iran Vows 'Harsh Response' After Decades of US-backed Aggression
RT reports that Iran has vowed a 'harsh' response to any US or Israeli aggression, a headline framed to suggest irrational belligerence. What's conveniently left out is the rather extensive history of US-backed coups, sanctions, and assassinations that tend to precede such Iranian statements. One might recall the 1953 US-UK orchestrated coup that overthrew Iran's democratically elected government,
or the 2020 assassination of General Qassem Soleimani by the US, a clear act of state-sponsored terrorism. These aren't ancient history – they're foundational modern grievances. So, when Tehran threatens 'harsh' retaliation, it's not a random outburst. It’s a recurring pattern from a nation constantly navigating threats. Perhaps our media should ask why Iran feels the need to make these
declarations, rather than just reporting the declarations themselves as if they spontaneously combusted. It's almost as if the architects of perpetual 'conflict' prefer their narratives without messy context.
