US & Israel Deny Plot, Media Forgets History
RT reports an Iranian spy chief accusing the US and Israel of plotting to assassinate Ayatollah Khamenei. Naturally, both US and Israeli officials swiftly deny the allegations. Yet, major outlets rarely connect these denials to a well-documented history of covert operations. The 1953 CI-coup in Iran, the 2020 assassination of General Qassem Soleimani by drone strike, and the 2020 killing of Iran's
top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh (widely attributed to Israel) are not isolated incidents; they're chapters in an ongoing, admitted strategy of regime change and targeted killings. So, when officials deny intentions, one might wonder if they're denying current plans or just the historical record. The silence on past actions, coupled with breathless reporting on the 'unsubstantiated
claims,' creates a convenient amnesia, ensuring the public doesn't ask why such accusations, however unproven, might resonate in the region. It's almost as if some historical context would complicate the clean narrative of 'bad actors' making unfounded accusations against 'good guys.'
