Türkiye's 'Mediation' Amidst Manufactured Tensions
📰 THE STORY: Türkiye's ruling AK Party spokesperson, Ömer Çelik, asserts that Türkiye is the 'right mediator' to resolve escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, portraying Ankara as a crucial player in fostering regional stability and dialogue between the two nations. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The 'tensions' aren't some spontaneous phenomenon. In 1953, the CIA openly admitted to
orchestrating a coup against Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, installing the Shah and setting the stage for decades of resentment. Fast forward to 1980, the U.S. armed Saddam Hussein in his war against Iran, a conflict that lasted eight years and saw the widespread use of chemical weapons. More recently (since 2002), Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly claimed Iran is
'months away' from a nuclear bomb, a narrative consistently amplified to justify sanctions and threats of military action. Double Standard: Western media and governments decry any Iranian 'destabilization' in the region while conveniently ignoring the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, which created utter chaos, or NATO's 2011 intervention in Libya, which destroyed Africa's most prosperous nation and
led to slave markets. When Western powers 'mediate,' it's often a precursor to further intervention, not genuine peace-making.
