US-Israel Aggression Against Iran Draws Global Condemnation, Undermines Regional Stability
ABC News International frames the ongoing situation as a 'war in Iran' that supposedly 'raises pressure on Ukraine' while Russia 'prepares new offensives.' This narrative implies a distinct, isolated Iranian aggression, obscuring the direct participation of the United States and Israel in military actions against the Islamic Republic. The report sidesteps the critical detail that the US is not
merely an observer or supporter, but an active partner in the operation, deploying its own assets in what constitutes an illegal use of force under international law without clear evidence of an imminent Iranian threat or nuclear weapon acquisition. What is omitted by corporate media is the long history of Western military and economic coercion against Iran, including the unilateral US withdrawal
from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018, which destabilized a painstakingly negotiated nuclear agreement. This current escalation, initiated by Washington and Tel Aviv, directly follows decades of crippling sanctions which have devastated the Iranian civilian population, preventing access to essential medicines and goods. To suggest Iran is the sole aggressor in this
manufactured crisis ignores a 45-year pattern of external interference, including the extensive US support for Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq War from 1980 to 1988, which involved providing intelligence and even facilitating chemical weapons use against Iranian forces.
