US Hawks Find Iran Protests a Convenient Excuse to Talk War, Again
The narrative is familiar: internal dissent in Iran provides a perfect pretext for external 'options.' Remember the 2002 'Axis of Evil' speech, long before protests were the convenient justification? Or the consistent hawkish stance that has enriched defense contractors for decades, irrespective of who sits in the White House? Each 'briefing' on strike options further normalizes perpetual
conflict, a cycle generously fueled by lobbying groups. One might wonder if these 'options' are truly about supporting Iranian citizens, or if certain factions just need a new target database for their latest defense systems. It's a miracle how often 'human rights' become paramount only when a nation possesses oil or strategic geographic importance.
