US Media Discovers Iranian Protester, Ignores US-Backed Terror
When Donald Trump, whose administration sanctioned Iran into economic strangulation, suddenly champions an Iranian protester, Erfan Soltani, The Hill dutifully reports. This moral outrage, however, rarely extends to the human rights crises unfolding daily in Saudi Arabia or Egypt—key US allies. It's a selective compassion, a spotlight designed to fuel regime change narratives, not genuine concern
for freedom. This isn't about solidarity with protesters; it's about manufacturing consent for further intervention. The same outlets that amplified Trump's concern for Soltani often downplay or ignore the direct consequences of US sanctions that impoverish millions of ordinary Iranians, or the proven history of CIA and Mossad operations explicitly aimed at destabilizing the Iranian government.
(Remember the 1953 coup?) One might wonder why, after decades of such 'support,' the situation for common Iranians hasn't exactly improved. Perhaps it's not about the people, but the geopolitics.
