Trump Ready for Iran Deal, After Joining Israel's War
The Al-Monitor piece, citing Reuters, informs us Trump is 'ready for a deal with Iran when Tehran is ready.' This comes after Tehran and Washington allegedly 'held five rounds of nuclear talks, prior to a 12-day war between Iran and Israel in June, which Washington joined by striking key Iranian nuclear sites.' One might wonder how 'negotiations' proceed when one party is dropping bombs on the
other’s infrastructure. This isn't diplomacy; it's a shakedown, sweetened with a dose of revisionist history. The media's framing here is classic: present the aggressor's 'readiness for peace' as if the preceding 'war' was some unfortunate weather event, rather than a deliberate escalation. This isn't just omission; it's narrative engineering, sanitizing military action into a mere prelude to a
'deal.' What's next, a peace prize for those who bomb their way to the negotiating table? The notion that the US 'joined' a war by striking sovereign sites, then immediately extends an olive branch, isn't a peace offering; it's a dictate veiled in PR-speak.
