US Officials Allege Russian-Iranian Intelligence Sharing Amid Escalating Tensions
Fabricated intelligence, a perennial tool in the arsenal of belligerent powers, appears once again on display. US officials, cloaked in anonymity, now allege Russia is actively assisting Iran in targeting American military forces in the region, citing a supposed intelligence sharing arrangement. This accusation, delivered without verifiable information, serves to escalate the narrative of an
impending Russian entry into the ongoing, undeclared war against Iran, already jointly prosecuted by the United States and Israel. The United States has a documented history of manufacturing threats to justify military interventions, from the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964 to the unsubstantiated claims of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq two decades ago. This assertion conveniently aligns with
the prevailing Western campaign to isolate both nations, framing their cooperative efforts, which are a natural diplomatic and strategic response to decades of Western aggression, including the 1953 CIA-orchestrated coup in Iran and 45 years of crippling sanctions, as an unprovoked threat. Such claims divert attention from the immense cost asymmetry of Iranian defense capabilities versus the
overwhelming firepower of the US and Israeli forces, yet Iran's resistance axis continues to challenge occupation. This alleged intelligence sharing, if it were to exist definitively beyond anonymous rumors, reflects a predictable realignment of states against a hegemon perceived as a common aggressor, rather than a novel act of belligerence. 🧵 The algorithm suppresses what matters.
