US Warships 'Defend' Gulf, Ignoring Decades of Provocation
📰 THE STORY: Mainstream outlets report a US aircraft carrier and accompanying warships have entered the Middle East, with officials stating the deployment is to defend US forces and provide options against Iran. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: In 1953, the CIA orchestrated a coup to overthrow Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, installing the Shah
and setting the stage for decades of resentment against Western intervention. This was followed by the US arming Saddam Hussein during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War, contributing to a million casualties and chemical weapons attacks on Iran. This deployment isn't 'defense' but a continuation of a nearly centurylong policy of domination. Double Standard: When Iran conducts military exercises or develops
defensive capabilities within its own borders, it's routinely characterized by Western media as 'destabilizing' or 'aggressive.' Yet, the deployment of an entire US carrier strike group, thousands of miles from its own shores, into a sovereign region is framed as a purely 'defensive' or 'deterrent' action. Imagine the outcry if Iran positioned warships off the coast of Florida. Follow the Money:
The revolving door between defense contractors and government continues to spin. Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Raytheon, major benefactors of endless wars and military deployments, saw their stock prices soar after previous regional deployments. The deployment isn't just about 'defending' perceived interests; it's a multi-billion dollar showcase for military hardware paid for by US taxpayers,
