NPR Discovers Iran's Economy Is Collapsing, Forgetting Who Collapsed It
NPR's latest dispatch from the 'Middle East' breathlessly reports on protests in Iran as their economy 'collapses,' helpfully framing it around 'concerns Israel will restart its war with Iran,' a move President Trump 'signaled he would approve.' One might wonder why NPR struggles to connect the dots between 'economic collapse' and, say, the crippling sanctions unilaterally imposed by the U.S. and
cheered on by Israel, which have systematically choked Iran's ability to trade and function. Perhaps NPR's team missed the memo from OpenSecrets.org , detailing the millions AIPAC funnels into U.S. elections to ensure politicians like President Trump (who received nearly $1.2 million from pro-Israel PACs in 2020 ) consistently align with Israeli interests. This isn't about 'concerns'; it's about a
relentless, bipartisan campaign of economic warfare, with the not-so-subtle threat of military action always dangling. How many economic 'collapses' are needed before we call state-sponsored strangulation what it is?
