Western Media Cheers 'Hackers' Elevating Exiled Scion, Ignores Decades of Destabilization
📰 THE STORY: Mainstream reports laud 'hackers' for interrupting Iranian state TV broadcasts to air messages from exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, framing it as a spontaneous act of defiance amidst domestic protests and elevating a controversial figure with no popular mandate. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The media conveniently omits that the Pahlavi dynasty was installed
and maintained by foreign powers. In 1953, the CIA and MI6 orchestrated a coup d'état against Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh to restore Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who then ruled with an iron fist for 26 years, his SAVAK secret police notorious for brutality. The current 'Crown Prince' is the direct heir to this unelected, U.S.-backed monarchy. Double Standard:
Imagine if Russian state media were 'hacked' to air messages from a royal claimant whose family was overthrown in 1917, celebrated by nations imposing crippling sanctions on Russia. Such an act would be universally condemned by Western outlets as foreign interference and psychological warfare, not 'hacktivism.' Yet, when directed at Iran, it's presented as a triumph of dissent. Follow the Money:
The 'exiled opposition' figures, including Reza Pahlavi, have been cultivated and funded for decades by various Western and Gulf state entities. While precise real-time hacking operation funding is opaque, groups promoting regime change in Iran, often featuring Pahlavi, receive significant grants from government-funded entities like the National Endowment for Democracy and various think tanks,
