  • this does not justify a military intervention in the country.

    But it does. That’s why these lies are done. To justify the military intervention.

    This is similar to the 40 beheaded babies and Hamas raped women hoaxes. Western propaganda makes up false stories because the real stories aren’t sobby enough (and the US is basically doing worse to black people on a daily basis). Then when the truth eventually comes out people have already internalized the propaganda.

    Sure Iran has its problems but there’s a reason why writers need to make up stories to really get the demonization going. Recently we had the US-backed terrorist attacks in Iran during the protests where Iranian think tanks made up crazier and crazier numbers of casualties to justify US imperialism.

    The latest US economic sanctions are actual mass terror against Iranian civilians but we’re not going to get any Guardian sob stories over that
