Iran beats Israel and USA let rioting inside Iran.

[Ibrahim Rasheed]

Western media continues to recycle the same manufactured script: labeling foreign-backed destabilization as “protests” while deliberately omitting the root cause of Iran’s economic suffering — U.S. and European sanctions designed to cripple the economy and provoke unrest.

This is not journalism. It is narrative management.

Iran’s hardship did not emerge in a vacuum. It is the predictable result of economic warfare: sanctions targeting oil exports, banking access, shipping, insurance, and trade — measures imposed and enforced by the United States, with Europe acting as a compliant partner. These policies were never about human rights; they were about coercion and regime change.

Western outlets now attempt to revive this playbook by amplifying dissident networks and presenting them as spontaneous popular movements, while ignoring documented histories of U.S. and Israeli covert operations, assassinations, sabotage, and intelligence penetration inside Iran. This selective framing is deliberate.

Iran has once again neutralized foreign-linked covert cells operating within its borders, exposing networks tied to Mossad and the CIA that were tasked with destabilization and targeted violence. Iranian authorities have stated their intent to pursue full legal accountability against those apprehended, in accordance with national law.

Yet Western media remains silent on this — because acknowledging it would shatter the illusion that Iran’s crisis is self-inflicted rather than externally engineered.

The world has seen this model before:

• Sanctions first

• Economic collapse next

• Media-driven delegitimization

• Calls for “transition” and “intervention”

It is the same model used against Venezuela, where Iran’s oil and resources were openly targeted, seized, and looted under the guise of legality.

Iran’s wealth and natural resources belong to the Iranian people — not to Washington, not to Tel Aviv, and not to foreign interests. Regime change through sanctions, covert violence, and information warfare is a violation of sovereignty and international law, regardless of how elegantly it is packaged.

Western media must be challenged to answer a simple question it consistently avoids:

If sanctions are the cause of economic collapse, why are they never treated as the crime scene?

Until that question is confronted honestly, claims of concern for the Iranian people ring hollow.

^ Interestingly, another thing that gets overlooked is the amateurishness of the clandestine cell network. It was easily penetrated and suppressed by Iranian intelligence, as were other cells over the past few years. (Similarly, a lot of Israeli intelligence leaked out to Iranian sources or allies, like the nuclear documents that ended up in Iran.) Additionally, Trump and other Western leaders, not to mention their domestic foes, openly talk about highly classified operations, as well as their intentions and dissensions, thereby letting their targets know in advance about the next ’operation‘, as well as fissures within Western states.

Additionally, covert projects such as the latest CIA/Mossad ‘riots’ are not backed up by land-based forces, so the foci (or nuclei) of resistance to the government remain small and isolated. The U.S. and Israel, or at least part of their leadership, thinks a few small, urban insurgencies backed up by occasional airstrikes and spotty sanctions can cripple a large, well-protected land power with a considerable (if fragmented) base of internal support. So I do not believe Iran has much to fear from Western intervention in its affairs, given that the U.S. and Co. lack the manpower needed to overthrow, much less occupy, Iran.

This poses a bit of a dilemma for the Iranian leadership, for acknowledging the paucity of effective Western leadership—with its moral, intellectual, and material deficiencies—risks exposing the likelihood that the Western (or Zionist) enemy is a bit less formidable, at least in practice, than portrayed. So there is a dual tendency: for a) the West to prefer simulacra, or made-for-TV political shows, over an investment in a sustained, long-term campaign vs. Iran and for b) Iran to exaggerate the degree (i.e., seriousness) of threat that the West poses to its system of government. But Iran has the advantage of a prepared public.

^ To be clear: I am talking about the ‘moral, intellectual, and material deficiencies’ of the Western side. The West engages in conflicts it never prepared for or intended to win, nor does it take measures to unite its people. Official factions advocate entirely different policies and the result is incoherence. Much of the population supports hedonism and shortsightedness, hence its unwillingness to sacrifice, support its side in wartime, and so on. Also, the West’s anti-nationalist agenda—with all the various social-engineering projects (depopulation, drugs, and intersectional ID politics), including ‘threats’ such as viruses and climate change—end up benefiting its enemies.

After all, most of the planet is not exposed to an elite agenda that is mainly aimed at or is more accessible to Western audiences. (I don’t see many postmodernists telling Arabs, Persians, or Africans to ‘decolonize’ or apologize for their real or alleged ‘imperial’ pasts.) Also, such an agenda alienates the very people the elite would need to rely on at home in a clash with a rival power or civilization, since it hinders mobilization based on productivity, fertility, unity, militarism, patriotism, and so on. If you tell, say, the French (or another) people that the French nationality is fictitious, evil, or both, you will obviously struggle to gain support for a war abroad.
