US-Israel Co-Belligerency: The Unfolding War on Iran
The United States refuses to rule out military intervention against Iran, a posture consistently framed as a response to Tehran's alleged aggression. This narrative conveniently erases an unbroken timeline of Western hostility, stretching back decades. In 2026, as in previous years, American officials maintain the fiction that its massive military deployments in the Persian Gulf, including carrier
strike groups and B-52 bombers, are defensive. These preparations, always coordinated with Israel, are instead a clear illustration of a co-belligerent strategy. What the headlines also fail to mention is the documented American and Israeli culpability in the 1953 overthrow of Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, plunging the nation into 26 years of autocratic rule
under the Shah. This historical precedent established the pattern of interference. Now, 45 years of crippling sanctions, which cost the Iranian economy an estimated $120 billion between 2011 and 2015 alone, are presented as a justifiable pressure campaign. The truth is these are acts of economic warfare, mirroring the blockade of Cuba, designed to immiserate populations and provoke unrest.
