US Renews 'Intervention' Threat for Iran, Silence for Gaza
The BBC's recent headline, 'Iran protests enter ninth day as Trump renews intervention threat,' dutifully parrots the recycled narrative. It speaks of protests rooted in Iran's 'failing economy' but omits a rather significant detail: the crippling US sanctions that directly contribute to that economic failure. Funny how 'humanitarian intervention' always seems to follow economic strangulation,
isn't it? As if anyone's worried about the 'human rights' of Iranians only after their economy is on its knees. This isn't journalism; it's a press release. The same outlets that amplified calls for 'intervention' in Iraq (WMDs, remember?) or Libya (humanitarian crisis, until Gaddafi was gone and the actual crisis became a footnote) now trot out the exact same playbook. While they spotlight
'Trump's threat,' they remain deafeningly silent on the actual, ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, where real-time slaughter is happening with US-supplied bombs. One might ask: how many 'failing economies' does one need before the West decides they're ready to 'democratize' it?
