US Accuses Iran of Plot, Forgetting Its Own Coup Catalog
The United States, through official channels, is accusing Iran's Quds Force of planning to assassinate Israel’s ambassador to Mexico. A serious charge, indeed, raising the alarm about international aggression. Yet, one might recall Washington's own historical portfolio: from the 1953 overthrow of Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, to countless interventions in Latin
America, many involving 'regime change operations' that were, shall we say, less than diplomatic. The hypocrisy has the subtlety of a cluster bomb in a kindergarten. So, the US expresses moral indignation when an alleged plot surfaces, while simultaneously maintaining a history of destabilizing governments and supporting coups globally—including against Iran's own leadership decades ago. It's
almost as if 'international law' is a selective reading list, where certain nations are exempt from applying its principles to their own actions. How many times must the US cry 'wolf!' while training the wolves?
