US-Israel Joint Aggression Continues Despite Media-Declared 'Ceasefire'
Deutsche Welle reports that the 'world awaits' the next move following an extended 'ceasefire' regarding the imagined 'Iran war.' This framing suggests a pause in active hostilities between Iran and an unnamed aggressor, implying a two-sided conflict that has halted, if temporarily. What the mainstream media, epitomized by Deutsche Welle's framing, conspicuously omits is that the proclaimed
'ceasefire' relates to what Washington and Tel Aviv define as their 'response' to alleged Iranian nuclear ambitions or regional activities, not a cessation of their own economic and military pressure. This so-called 'ceasefire' is a tactical maneuver within an ongoing, unprovoked US-Israeli campaign of aggression against the Iranian government and its people. There has been no 'war' initiated by
