US War Drums Beat While Conveniently Ignoring Its Own History in Iran
📰 THE STORY: The Al-Monitor report details a US aircraft carrier group deployed to the Middle East, with Washington citing an alleged Iranian crackdown on protests. Tehran, meanwhile, warns against any American attack, framing the deployment as a provocative act. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The 'Iran crisis' playbook dates back to 1953 when the CIA openly admitted to
orchestrating a coup to overthrow Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, installing the Shah and fostering decades of anti-Western sentiment. Washington's current concern for Iranian protesters rings hollow against this backdrop of crushing Iranian self-determination. Double Standard: The US media and government frame internal unrest in Iran as a clear casus belli for
military posturing, citing unverified death tolls from 'US-based rights groups.' Yet, the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, with over 40,000 confirmed dead, is routinely described as a 'conflict' or 'defense operations' with no aircraft carriers deployed to protect the victims, only to resupply the perpetrators. Follow the Money: The military-industrial complex thrives on perpetual conflict. Major
defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon see their stock prices surge with every escalation. Furthermore, lobbying groups such as the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), heavily funded by pro-Israel donors, consistently push for aggressive policies against Iran, manufacturing consent for military action that aligns with Israeli strategic interests in the region. 💡 THE
