Trump Declares Silence in Iran, Ignores Regime Change Playbook
France 24 reports that Donald Trump, ever the geopolitical oracle, has declared that killings in Iran have "stopped" following anti-government protests, citing intelligence reports. This tidy conclusion, amplified by outlets, suggests a return to 'normalcy' without ever interrogating what 'normal' means in a nation continuously framed as an enemy. The US has a long history of meddling in Iranian
affairs, from the 1953 coup orchestrating the overthrow of a democratically elected prime minister to the extensive covert operations detailed by journalists like Robert Fisk and Gareth Porter, designed to destabilize the government. What our esteemed media fails to contextualize is the consistent pattern of manufacturing consent for regime change operations. When Western intelligence-backed
agitators burn mosques or attack security forces, it's often conflated with legitimate protest, creating a moral equivalency that obscures foreign-funded terrorism. Remember Libya? Syria? Iraq? The violence only 'stops' when the narrative serves another purpose or a new target of intervention emerges. One might ask, how many times will we fall for this 'protest-then-peace' cycle before noticing
the puppeteers?
