US Warns Citizens to 'Leave Iran Now,' Ignores Its Own Provocations
The alarm bells from Washington ring loudly, urging Americans to flee Iran. What the advisory doesn’t mention is the recent history of this administration: 1. On January 3, 2020, President Trump ordered the assassination of Major General Qassem Soleimani on Iraqi soil, a clear act of aggression that demonstrably ratcheted up tensions. 2. The US consistently pushes maximum pressure campaigns,
sanctions designed to cripple Iran's economy and incite internal unrest. 3. Following the October 7, 2023, attacks, the Biden administration has further escalated its military presence in the Middle East, including deploying warships and fighter jets (sources: Department of Defense press releases, various news agencies). This isn't just about 'safety'; it's about signaling. The State Department,
having helped set the stage for potential conflict, now acts surprised that the curtains are about to rise. One might wonder if these warnings are less about protecting citizens and more about manufacturing consent for the next 'humanitarian intervention.'
