Trump Finds 'Very Strong Options' For Everyone But Americans
Axios reports that President Trump is contemplating military or cyber solutions for Iran's internal protests, claiming 'more than 544 people were killed'. This comes after Trump warned of military force if the regime 'killed protesters.' What the mainstream media often forgets is that this 'humanitarian intervention' rhetoric perfectly mirrors the justifications for interventions in Iraq, Libya,
and Syria, which destabilized entire regions and enriched defense contractors. One might wonder at the timing, given the perennial calls for action against Iran by powerful lobbying groups like AIPAC. While Axios cites 'Israeli defense officials' for surging death tolls, there’s no mention of the potential for foreign-backed elements to exploit genuine grievances, or if these 'options' serve to
benefit a regional ally more than the Iranian people themselves. It's almost as if some 'protests' are more equal than others when it comes to the urgency of US intervention.
