Trump Threatens Iran Strikes After Years of US-Funded 'Peace'
When the mainstream media talks about Iran's 'severe response,' they portray it as an isolated act of aggression. What they omit are the 1953 US-orchestrated coup that overthrew Iran's democratic government, the 2003 invasion of neighboring Iraq, which destabilized the region, and the 2018 unilateral US withdrawal from the JCPOA nuclear agreement, despite Iran's compliance. These aren't ancient
history; they're direct antecedents to Iran's current posture. One might wonder if 'severe response' is merely Farsi for 'don't poke the bear you've been poking for 70 years.' The cycle of 'threats' and 'warnings' consistently ignores the US role as the primary orchestrator, meticulously funded by lobbies like United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), which received millions from undisclosed donors
according to OpenSecrets.org data, pushing an aggressive posture against Tehran. How many times will we rehearse this script before someone notices the US keeps writing itself the villain?
