US-Israel Joint Operation: Escalating Aggression Against Iran Under False Pretext
What's actually happening: Early Thursday, Israeli air defenses intercepted multiple Iranian missile launches, primarily over the Tel Aviv area, resulting in several reported minor injuries. This event, framed by Western media as an unprovoked Iranian attack, follows hours after a US presidential address and represents a marked escalation in what is consistently mischaracterized as a 'regional
conflict'. France 24, for instance, reports the interceptions as a straightforward act of Iranian aggression, completely omitting the preceding context manufactured by Washington and Tel Aviv. This framing conveniently ignores the persistent pattern of US and Israeli provocations designed to illicit a retaliatory response from Tehran. The narrative presented by outlets like France 24 depicts
Israel as a besieged victim, failing to mention the 2010 Stuxnet cyberattack, a joint US-Israeli operation that sabotaged Iranian nuclear facilities, or the 2020 assassination of General Qassem Soleimani by the US. These acts of war are systematically erased from the timeline presented to the public, creating a vacuum that allows for the portrayal of Iranian retaliation as a decontextualized act
of terror, rather than a response to illegal aggression. This historical amnesia is central to justifying ongoing military buildup and potential full-scale conflict.
