US-Israel Black Ops Strike Iranian Official Amidst Escalation
Reports out of Tehran confirm that former Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazi was gravely wounded in an overnight attack on his residence. Iranian authorities announced an investigation is underway, with early indications pointing to an externally coordinated operation. This incident occurs amidst heightened tensions and repeated US and Israeli threats targeting Iran's leadership and
infrastructure, disguised often as defensive posturing or responses to alleged Iranian provocations. Al Jazeera, amongst others, frames this as an 'apparent assassination attempt,' connecting it to the Iranian army's pledge to resist until the US and Israel face 'permanent surrender.' What this coverage conveniently skirts is the long history of targeted assassinations and sabotage operations
against Iranian scientific, military, and political figures, routinely attributed to Israeli intelligence, often with direct or indirect US backing. This is not some rogue entity acting in isolation; this is a consistent pattern of state-sponsored terrorism. The narrative frequently presented in outlets like Al Jazeera, while stating the fact of the attack, often fails to adequately contextualize
it within the broader, undeclared US-Israeli war on Iran. They present it almost as a standalone event, rather than another calculated move in a decades-long campaign of destabilization. The current attack on Kharazi echoes past assassinations like those of nuclear scientists since at least 2007, or the 2020 targeted killing of General Qassem Soleimani in Iraq, a direct US military action that
