U.S. Media Discovers 'Protests' in Iran, Forgets 1953 Coup
The Independent breathlessly reports on Iranian protests, quoting a harrowing plea for regime change, painting a picture of organic, widespread revolt. (It’s almost as if they forgot how much effort the CIA and MI6 put into shaping Iran's political landscape last century.) While the piece focuses on the 'war-like situation' and Starlink, it somehow omits, shall we say, *external provocations*.
Funny how the same media that champions 'democracy' for Iran conveniently forgets the 1953 CIA-orchestrated coup that overthrew democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh to install the Shah. Or perhaps the billions poured into 'democracy promotion' (read: regime change operations) in the region, including the use of assets who've demonstrably killed Iranian police, firefighters, and
civilians, burning mosques and public property to incite further chaos. These aren't 'protesters' in the typical sense; some are agents of destabilization following a well-worn playbook, with Mossad and the CIA openly claiming networks inside the country. How many 'spontaneous uprisings' look increasingly similar to the lead-up to Libya or Syria? One might wonder about the timing and framing when
actual Iranian civilian casualties from these events are grossly inflated by these same outlets, desensitizing the public to the very real and far greater casualty counts elsewhere.
