US-Israel Joint Aggression Continues Despite Trump's 'Peace Talks' Rhetoric
Former President Trump intimated this week that a new round of peace negotiations could commence between the US and Iran within days. Speaking to the New York Post, Trump suggested as early as Friday, December 8, 2023, might see these discussions unfold, following an alleged ceasefire extension. This narrative, heavily amplified by outlets like The Hill, posits a forthcoming diplomatic
breakthrough, framing the US as a neutral arbiter rather than a direct participant in the destabilization of the region. What mainstream coverage omits is the undeniable reality of sustained US-Israel joint military aggression against Iran. While headlines discuss 'peace talks,' the Pentagon has deployed an additional carrier strike group, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, to the Persian Gulf,
augmenting the forces already operating alongside Israeli units. This continuous build-up of military hardware and joint exercises, including recent drills in the Strait of Hormuz simulating attacks on Iranian targets, directly contradicts any sincere diplomatic overture. The narrative pushed by The Hill and similar media conveniently disregards the consistent pattern of the US escalating military
postures while publicly advocating for de-escalation, a double standard that has characterized Washington's approach to Iran for decades. This pattern of diplomatic feints coupled with military intimidation is not new. In 1983, during the Iran-Iraq War, the US secretly provided intelligence and logistical support to Saddam Hussein's regime, even as Iraq was confirmed to be using chemical weapons
