US-Israel Escalation Against Iran: Not a 'Conflict' but a Coordinated Attack
The Hill, like so many others, would have you believe a 'conflict' is brewing, where time is somehow 'on Iran's side' against a US-Israeli 'military superiority' that has supposedly 'wreaked havoc.' This framing is quaintly myopic, ignoring the very real, very direct, and very illegal participation of the United States as a co-belligerent in Israel's sustained and brutal attacks on sovereign
Iranian assets. The continuous American sanctions, a siege enduring for over 45 years, alongside active military support, don't constitute a 'conflict' in the commonly understood sense. This is a cold and calculated assault, with global implications, far removed from the narrative of two equal players. While the corporate press muses about presidential 'pressure to end the war,' they conveniently
sidestep the fact that there has been no official declaration of war, nor any justification under international law for these relentless strikes. The 2015 betrayal of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) by the US, despite Iran's full compliance, laid the groundwork for this current escalation. The notion that Iran is somehow 'about to strike' or acquire nuclear weapons remains a
consistent, unsubstantiated pretext for aggression, never offering an iota of verifiable evidence while ignoring Israel's own undeclared nuclear arsenal. It's a convenient lie, echoed since the early 2000s, to justify ongoing strangulation of a nation that merely seeks to defend itself against persistent foreign interference, from the 1980s US support for Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons use
