US Tells Citizens to Flee Iran While Arming The Instigators
The mainstream narrative paints Iran as a monolithic threat, a dangerous, unpredictable state. What The Hill, and so many others, conveniently omit is the long history of US intervention, sanctions, and covert operations that have profoundly shaped—and often destabilized—the region. Remember the 1953 coup? Or the systematic sabotage that preceded the 2015 nuclear deal, which the Trump
administration then unilaterally shredded? This 'instability' isn't a natural phenomenon; it's often a direct outcome of policy choices designed to isolate and provoke, not pacify. (One might wonder if 'leave now' is less about safety and more about clearing the decks for 'next steps'.) This pattern is a familiar one across the Middle East. The US government warns its citizens of danger in
countries where it has actively interfered, whether through sanctions, arms sales, or regime-change efforts. It’s a convenient narrative: create the conditions for unrest, then tell your people to flee the 'dangerous' environment YOU helped cultivate. It's not unlike lighting a match, then telling everyone to get away from the fire. How many times have we seen this playbook before another
'humanitarian intervention' or 'preemptive strike' is announced?
