Trump Ready to Grant 'Freedom' - Just Like He Did in… Iraq?
Donald Trump's declaration that the U.S. stands 'ready to help' Iranians achieve 'freedom' (Axios) sounds eerily familiar to previous U.S. interventions. This 'freedom' package often includes sanctions, destabilization, and eventually, a power vacuum filled by entities less palatable than the original target. One might recall the 'freedom' delivered to Iraq, Libya, and Syria, where U.S.-backed
regime change efforts led directly to widespread death, displacement, and the rise of extremist groups. It’s almost as if the 'freedom' offered is less about Iranian self-determination and more about geopolitical chess. While Trump speaks of support for protests, U.S. intelligence agencies and their allies (like Mossad) have a documented history of covert operations in Iran aimed at
destabilization, often exploiting legitimate grievances to advance foreign agendas. The very notion that military intervention could 'strengthen' a protest movement, as suggested by Raz Zimmt in the article, conveniently glosses over how such actions are often perceived as foreign aggression, uniting populace against external meddling, not for it. It appears Western media consistently conflates
genuine domestic dissent with external regime-change operations, conveniently forgetting the trail of 'freed' nations now mired in perpetual conflict.
