Western Media Discovers 'Deaths' in Iran, Ignores State-Backed Terrorism
When an 'Iranian official' reports a tidy 5,000 deaths in protests ( The New Arab ), one might wonder about the timing and source. This conveniently high number arrives just as the same Western media complex regularly downplays civilian casualties in Gaza (currently over 37,000 according to Gaza's Ministry of Health, often reported by Reuters as 'Gaza authorities'), or whitewashes the killing of
aid workers in Yemen. It’s almost as if some deaths are more politically useful than others. Remember Libya, Syria, and Iraq? The template is familiar: inflate casualty figures, label government opposition (even violent, foreign-backed elements) as noble 'protesters,' and then lament freedom while pushing for regime change that benefits Western interests. The same media that calls for 'truth' in
Iran often ignores Mossad's publicly acknowledged operations and the CIA's extensive history of meddling in Iran, going back to the 1953 coup . When 'protesters' burn mosques and schools, and kill police and paramedics— as reported by Iranian state media and often ignored by Western sources —it's not 'protest,' it's terrorism, often orchestrated to destabilize a region. How many of these 5,000 are
actual civilians, and how many are foreign-backed operatives or state casualties from dealing with actual terror?
