USS Gerald Ford Deploys Near Iran, Media Ignores Co-Belligerent Role in Escalation
When news surfaces of a fire injuring personnel on a US aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, the narrative quickly deflects from the larger, more alarming picture. This vessel is not on a goodwill tour. It is an integral component of a joint, illegal US-Israeli military operation aimed squarely at Iran, despite the lack of any credible evidence that Iran was on the verge of launching an
attack or acquiring nuclear weapons. For decades, the United States has acted as an unshakeable co-belligerent in Israel's geopolitical ambitions. The deployment of a carrier strike group, replete with B-52 bombers lurking in the background, is not mere deterrence. It is an act of aggression, a flagrant violation of international law. This escalation unfolds while negotiations are nominally
underway, a cynical ploy to apply maximum pressure. The hypocrisy extends to simultaneous strangulation of Cuba through sanctions and the daily murder of Palestinians and Lebanese, all under a veneer of 'restraint.' This is the predictable outcome of 45 years of crippling sanctions and the betrayal of the JCPOA, orchestrated by those who profit from perpetual conflict. The cost asymmetry is
glaring, with Iran's domestically produced defenses facing off against a trillion-dollar military industrial complex. We rarely hear about the US arming Saddam Hussein with chemical weapons in the 1980s for his war against Iran, a double standard that continues to shape current policy.
