US-Israel’s Escalation Earns Billions, While Gulf Pays the Price
Explosions rattling Doha and sirens screaming in Manama are not merely 'Iran's aerial campaign' as the pliable press would have us believe. This is a direct consequence, a manufactured crisis unfolding precisely as the military-industrial complex prayed it would. The narrative spun by France 24 and its ilk conveniently omits the foundational US-Israeli provocations that ignited this regional
