Predictable Escalation: Another Chapter in the Endless War Machine
The drumbeat of 'strikes' against Tehran echoes a well-rehearsed symphony of aggression, yet the Western press conveniently conducts it as a solo performance by Israel. This latest 'wave' follows a pattern established long before today's headlines, a pattern where the US acts as a silent but integral co-belligerent, not merely a supportive bystander. Back in 1980, the US tilted heavily towards
Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq War, providing intelligence that enabled chemical weapon attacks on Iranian troops, a historical detail often scrubbed from current narratives.

However, the deployment of carrier groups, the constant B-52 patrols in the
region, and the continuous flow of advanced weaponry reveal the deeper architecture of a joint US-Israeli campaign. This isn't just about 'targets' in Tehran; it's about maintaining constant pressure, preventing regional self-determination, and systematically undermining any perceived Iranian strength, all while strangling nations like Cuba with economic blockades and overseeing the daily murder
