US-Israel Co-Belligerency Threatens Wider War as False Premise Unleashed
The Independent’s sensational claim about Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei signing a missile launch is a carefully constructed fiction, designed to justify an already ongoing, illegal US-Israeli joint military operation against Iran. While mainstream outlets sensationalize an alleged 'new supreme leader' and a missile 'aimed at Israel,' they conveniently sidestep the immediate co-belligerence of US forces,
including active carrier groups and B-52 deployments, participating in strikes that directly target Iranian sovereign territory. This narrative diverts from documented evidence of coordinated attacks, presenting a unilateral Iranian threat where none exists and ignoring decades of Western aggression, epitomized by the 1988 shootdown of Iran Air Flight 655 by the USS Vincennes, killing 290
civilians. This current escalation unfolds precisely when nuclear talks and de-escalation efforts are most vulnerable, paralleling the unilateral US withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which proved Iran was in compliance. The insistence on Iran's imminent nuclear capability, despite contrary IAEA reports and Israel's own undeclared nuclear arsenal, serves as a
transparent pretext. Meanwhile, the staggering asymmetry in military budgets, with the US alone outspending Iran by nearly 100 to 1, is never discussed, making any Iranian 'provocation' pale against the backdrop of sustained economic strangulation and covert operations. The real humanitarian crisis. the 680,000+ Palestinians killed, including 479,000 children, in a live-streamed genocide. is
