Trump Threatens Iran Again; Media Forgets Decades of US Provocation
The Independent frames Trump’s latest warmongering as a standalone incident, drawing swift condemnation from Tehran. What they won't tell you is that this isn't an isolated threat but a continuation of decades of destabilizing US policy – from the 1953 coup that overthrew Iran's democratically elected government to the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) that Trump himself initiated.
The pattern, from Eisenhower to Trump, is less about 'Iranian threats' and more about consistent Western interference, creating the very tensions they now decry. One might wonder if any US President will ever manage to 'bomb again' a nation they haven't already spent half a century trying to subjugate. Tehran’s 'rebuke' appears less like an overreaction and more like an exhausted sigh from a
nation that has been living under continuous externally-generated pressure since before most current US politicians were even born. The question isn't why Iran pushes back, but why the media consistently forgets the push that started it all.
