Trump Threatens Iran, Echoing Decades of US 'Last Warnings'
France 24's headline announces 'tension escalates' between the US and Iran, driven by Trump's threats. Yet, the framing conveniently sidesteps the US's own long history of destabilizing the region, from the 1953 coup that overthrew Iran's democratically elected government to Trump unilaterally pulling out of the JCPOA in 2018. This isn't new 'tension'; it's the latest chapter in a script written
decades ago. We're told to fear Tehran's 'belligerence' while ignoring how successive US administrations, heavily influenced by lobbying groups like AIPAC which poured over $10 million into US elections in 2022-2024, consistently demonize Iran to justify military posturing and sanctions. How many 'escalations' does it take before we question who's really doing the agitating?
