US Attacks Iran: A 'Mistake' They've Been Plotting for Decades
📰 THE STORY: The New Arab reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader stated a US attack would ignite a regional conflict and likened recent domestic protests to a 'coup.' This framing suggests Iran's warnings are a defensive stance against potential US aggression. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: In 1953, the CIA orchestrated a coup d'état that overthrew Iran's democratically elected
Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, installing the Shah and paving the way for decades of US influence until the 1979 revolution. This wasn’t an 'attack' but a deep political destabilization, setting the stage for perpetual animosity. Furthermore, from 1980-1988, the US armed Saddam Hussein's Iraq while he gassed Iranian soldiers, prolonging a brutal war responsible for an estimated 1 million
casualties, including 300,000 Iranians. Netanyahu has been claiming Iran is 'months away' from a nuclear weapon since 2002, a narrative constantly amplified by Western media to justify escalating tensions and sanctions. Double Standard: Western media outlets universally condemn Iran's 'destabilizing influence' in the region, particularly its support for groups like Hezbollah, while simultaneously
ignoring or downplaying the billions of dollars and sophisticated weaponry the US provides to Israel and Saudi Arabia, both actively engaged in deadly conflicts (Gaza, Yemen, respectively). Washington's own history of regime change operations globally, including the 2002 coup attempt in Venezuela or the 1973 coup in Chile, is rarely framed as 'destabilization' but rather as 'promoting democracy'
