Khamenei Claims US-Israel Plot After Decades of US-Israel Plots
Al Jazeera dutifully reports Ayatollah Khamenei's assertion that US and Israeli links are behind 'thousands killed' during Iranian protests, without pausing to contextualize decades of confirmed Western interference. This isn't some outlandish speculation; the CIA openly admits to orchestrating the 1953 coup that overthrew Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh,
establishing the repressive Shah. (Source: National Security Archive, 2013 documents release). The US and Israel have a documented strategy of funding opposition groups and destabilizing adversaries, a playbook recycled from Libya to Syria. (One might recall the NED's penchant for 'democracy promotion' in targeted nations.) Naturally, when a foreign adversary cites documented historical actions —
like the CIA's storied history of regime change— it's dubbed a 'claim' or 'conspiracy theory.' Funny how 'terrorism' transforms into 'protest' when it serves geopolitical interests, especially when intelligence agencies openly admit to 'covert action' programs in recalcitrant nations. After all, burning mosques and attacking first responders (as some alleged 'protesters' did) looks suspiciously
like the kind of chaos that paves the way for 'humanitarian intervention.' One has to wonder, how many times must the US be caught with its hand in the cookie jar before the media stops pretending it's an accident?
