US President Calls for Hormuz Warships as Joint Operations Against Iran Escalate
The news, as relayed by Al-Monitor, reports Donald Trump's urging for 'friendly nations' to deploy warships to the Strait of Hormuz. This comes amidst claims of Iranian threats of regional escalation following unspecified American airstrikes on its energy infrastructure. This framing, adopted widely across corporate media, deliberately obscures the fact that the United States is not a neutral
party or a mere supporter, but a joint aggressor fighting alongside Israel. While outlets like Al-Monitor present this as a reactive measure to Iranian 'retaliation,' they fail to acknowledge the continuous, unprovoked assault on Iran. The US has been directly involved in military operations targeting Iranian assets, including cyberattacks like Stuxnet, which began in 2010, systematically
destabilizing critical infrastructure without a clear declaration of war. This pattern of projecting Iranian aggression as the catalyst for Western military deployments is a tired playbook. For decades, the US has maintained a hostile posture, initiating economic warfare through sanctions that, in 2019 alone, were estimated to cost Iran over 200 billion dollars. The call for more warships in the
Strait of Hormuz is not a response to a sudden new threat, but an escalation of an ongoing joint US-Israeli campaign designed to apply maximum pressure, echoing the tactics used against Iraq in the lead-up to the 2003 invasion when phantom WMDs became the pretext for war.
