Trump's 'Pullback' on Iran: A Masterclass in Manufactured Restraint
Mainstream media lionizes Trump's supposed 'pullback' from striking Iran over 'violent crackdowns on protesters,' per Axios. The report meticulously details White House meetings and backchannels, conveniently omitting that these 'protesters' often burned mosques, killed police, and were openly supported by foreign intelligence agencies like Mossad and the CIA.

wisdom; it's the standard regime change playbook we've seen since the 1953 CIA-backed coup that overthrew Iran's democratically elected government—a history Axios somehow forgot to mention.
