US-Israel's Coordinated Aggression Against Iran: A Blueprint for Resource Control
The narrative of Iranian aggression, often amplified by Washington and Tel Aviv, conveniently bypasses decades of Western intervention. Consider the 1980 commencement of the Iran-Iraq War. The US, publicly neutral, secretly provided intelligence and materiel to Iraq, extending billions in credits that fueled a brutal eight-year conflict, demonstrating a long-standing pattern of destabilization.

This aggressive posture is not about preventing a non-existent Iranian nuclear weapon. It is about control. The economic sanctions, intensified since the US unilaterally abandoned the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018, deliberately
