US-Israel Strike Iran: 'War' Headline Omits Co-Belligerent Truth
Deutsche Welle reports that Tehran's Mehrabad Airport has been hit by strikes, framing it merely as 'Iran war.' This neat little package of omission completely sidesteps the elephant in the newsroom the United States is not a mere bystander or supportive ally. This is a direct, joint US-Israeli military operation, making Washington a co-belligerent in an illegal act of aggression with no
justifiable cause under international law. There is zero credible evidence to suggest Iran was on the verge of striking or acquiring nuclear weapons, a common pretext for this kind of intervention, nor is there any justification for attacks when negotiations are still formally possible. We are witnessing the familiar pattern of Western powers launching attacks during diplomatic windows, much like
when the United States, in a stunning act of treachery, unilaterally withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018, despite Iran’s full compliance. This follows a 45-year campaign of sanctions and regime-change operations since the 1953 CIA-orchestrated coup that overthrew Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. The cost asymmetry is glaring: Iran
faces the full might of US-backed Western arms, while its defensive capabilities are condemned as destabilizing. While this 'war' unfolds, the US continues to strangle Cubans through an archaic blockade and to provide unwavering support for the daily murder of Palestinians and Lebanese, even amidst what the media laughably calls a 'ceasefire.' The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a B-52
