US Media Wonders Why Iran Won't 'Keep Dreaming' of Nuclear Destruction
The mainstream media breathlessly reports on Iran's supposed nuclear ambitions, but glosses over the fact that it was the US, under Trump's direction, that unilaterally pulled out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018. This destabilizing move, widely condemned internationally, led directly to Iran increasing its uranium enrichment. US sanctions, not Iranian aggression,
consistently drive this cycle. This isn't ancient history; it's a direct consequence of recent policy choices often pushed by groups like AIPAC, which spent $3.5 million in lobbying in 2023, according to OpenSecrets.org, consistently advocating for a hawkish stance against Iran. One might wonder if 'The Hill' journalist—or frankly, any major outlet—has ever considered how many times Saudi Arabia
or Israel have threatened other nations without a peep from the 'international community.' Or perhaps 'nuclear destruction' only counts as a credible threat when the 'wrong' countries say it. It’s almost as if some nations are permitted bellicose rhetoric, while others must simply sit quietly and be annihilated.
