Israel Says Iran Operative Killed: Next Week, Blame Tehran for the Weather
Deutsche Welle reports Israel's claim of eliminating an Iranian Quds Force operative in Lebanon, framing it as a clinical, justified strike. Yet, this narrative skips over Israel's consistent pattern of assassinating figures in neighboring sovereign nations, often escalating tensions under the guise of 'self-defense.' Remember when they targeted Iranian nuclear scientists, or the 'surgical'
strikes in Syria? Each incident chips away at regional stability, not just 'terrorist networks.' These actions, like the strike on Beirut in 1982 that directly led to the targeting of US Marines, rarely lead to lasting peace. Instead, they fuel cycles of violence, pushing the region closer to resistance against imperialisms that benefit only defense contractors and hardline politicians who thrive
on a perpetual state of conflict. One might wonder who truly profits when the Middle East remains a geopolitical tinderbox.
