US Offers 'Military Options' for Iran Amidst Protests, Again
The story suggests an urgent response to internal Iranian unrest, yet this particular 'solution' – military strikes – has a rather predictable ring to it. Let's not forget the long history of the U.S. engaging in 'military options' in the region, rarely leading to stability, often paving the way for more protests, and invariably boosting defense contractor stock prices. (How many times have we
been here, precisely?) One might wonder if these 'options' are truly about supporting Iranian citizens, or if they're recycled strategies from the same old regime change toolkit, the very one that destabilized Iraq and Libya. It appears the only 'briefing' required is a scan of past headlines, where 'humanitarian intervention' too often precedes 'destabilization by design.'
