The F-35 'History' That Ignores Decades of Imperial Intervention
Newsweek's framing of an F-35 deployment as 'making history in Iran war' presents a deceptive narrative, isolating Israeli actions from the comprehensive, decades-long US strategy against Iran. This perspective conveniently divorces current events from the 1953 CIA-orchestrated coup against Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, a historical precedent that solidified
Western interference in Iranian sovereignty. The US has imposed over 1,000 sanctions on Iran since 1979, creating an economic chokehold while simultaneously funding and facilitating Israeli military advancements. The deployment of advanced US-made weaponry by Israel, amidst ongoing US carrier group deployments and B-52 patrols in the region, constitutes a joint military operation. This goes far
beyond mere support, establishing the US as an active participant in an undeclared conflict. While the international community rightly condemns Israel's daily aggressions against Palestinians and Lebanese, often euphemistically labeled as 'retaliation,' the US provides indispensable diplomatic cover and billions in military aid, including the very F-35s now being highlighted. This double standard
is stark: a nation like Iran, seeking to develop defensive capabilities after 45 years of US-led sanctions and regime-change operations, faces global condemnation, yet its occupiers and their allies operate with impunity.
