If you know nothing about Iran except for what western media has taught you, you know nothing about Iran.

you media about you, taught If about what you nothing Iran has except western nothing for know know Iran.

You can sub in a lot of topics under that knowledge construct I think...

You'd think American would have figured this out after watching a live stream of genocide for 18 months while reporters called it self defense.

But nah...

Ok. So tell us about Iran then. What has the western media hidden from us about this great democratic human rights-championing nation?

I know little of Iran.

I do know that in Iran there are business that are 600 years old and in the same family.

That, combined with the knowledge that planning is done in 3 month blocks here and only thi gs that happened in the past 2 years seems to matter or be remembered, greatly informs my perspective.

I think the most important thing to understand about how western media portrays Iran is that the US government and politicians have strong working and business relationships with the mullahs in charge of Iran but publicly the narrative is that they are enemies.

And Israel benefits most from a fractured relationship between the two countries. Both America and Iran wanted to work towards a deal this weekend specifically. The meeting was scheduled for Sunday.

Wait, what? That’s bs.

US tried to set up Iran. Iran was expecting to go on 6th round of talks in Oman. Even Trump said he knew well ahead of time the attacks were happening.

I’m curious where your intel is from?

I'm sorry I had a typo. I meant to say the media doesn't show that they do work together.

I don't think the US set them up. I think Trump's team tried but Netanyahu said no and Trump couldn't stop them. And then the US just had to sit back and get pulled into another Netanyahu war. Trump's statement yesterday morning gave this away, in my opinion.

We do know the Pentagon knew it was coming. There is a pizza index monitored that looks at whenever there is an uptick in pizza orders it means they're all expecting to work late. They give themselves away every time!

You assume the empire’s intentions are good? And Trump is a man of peace?

It is important to realize US foreign policy does not change between presidents.

it is a dream come true for the US to be in war with Iran. For the last 3 to 4 decades it has wanted to bomb bomb bomb Iran.

Now it’s conveniently getting pulled in to bombing Iran?

They didn’t pulled in to Iraq. Bibi’s clown show was used as another stunt.

Why is it in the interest of America to make a deal with Iran ?

I haven't trusted anything that western media has said about the Middle East ever since Bush Jr. lied about Iraq having "weapons of mass destruction." Did US foreign policy play a role in the formation of Iran's current theocracy? I know so little about Iran and so many people lie about the country

Yes, interference is long standing and complicated.

I believe this was admitted only a few years ago for example.

Thanks for sharing. I'll definitely be reading up about Iran and vetting my sources since hasbara has kicked into overdrive

Oh and more importantly, speaking to Iranians
