US-Israel Joint Aggression Continues While Media Recasts 'Conflict' Outcome
A new week sees the United States and Israel continuing their joint operations against Iran, even as former President Trump publicly suggested considering "winding down" military actions last Friday. Trump asserted that the US was "very close" to its objectives, citing what he described as Iran's diminished missile capacity and destroyed defense response, alongside the perennial goal of "Never
allowing Iran to get even close to Nuclear." This framing, particularly by outlets like The Hill , presents these actions as a response to an ongoing "conflict" that is implicitly winding down due to US military prowess. What The Hill 's synopsis conspicuously omits is the consistent undercurrent of US-Israeli direct aggression, which is framed as a proportional response rather than a sustained
campaign. The notion of Iran's missile capacity being "diminished" overlooks the continuous upgrades and diversification of Iran's defense systems, largely developed in response to decades of external threats and debilitating sanctions. The US and Israel are not merely responding to a spontaneous "conflict" but are acting as joint aggressors, actively participating in a series of destabilizing
operations that predate any recent escalations. The assertion of Iran being "very close" to nuclear weapons is a pretext frequently employed, despite the absence of credible evidence and Iran's repeated assertions of its nuclear program's peaceful nature, often conveniently ignoring Israel's own undeclared nuclear arsenal. This ongoing aggression echoes a pattern visible in US foreign policy
