Forming global consensus against Iran via playing blame game

In the wake of Iran’s missile response on Israeli military centers, a wave of media and diplomatic reactions has started in the West and Israel seeking to pave the way for intensifying strikes and engineering a global consensus against Tehran through resorting to playing blame game and highlighting civilian casualties. The propaganda, supported by the Zionist security and media as well as Western mainstream, aims to provide the audience with a biased narration of the recent developments, introducing the Islamic Republic as the country that creates crisis and threat, not a nation giving a natural defensive response to the aggression.

In this regard, Western media such as CNN, BBC, and FOX News try to depict an emotional and dramatic image of the so-called incident on Soroka Medical Center, while, Iran targeted military and security positions and has not confirmed any reports on damage against medical centers. Similarly, Israeli media has initiated a propaganda at the medical center to take advantage of the incident, turning it into the symbol of Iran’s crimes in a bid to prepare the ground for the international arena to pile more pressure on Iran.

What is important about this campaign is that it excludes Israel’s aggression on the Gaza Strip, aggression on Syria, assassination of the Iranian scientists and continued violation of regional countries’ sovereignty. Instead, it presents a biased narration to the global audience, drawing attention to the emotional and biased consequences of Iran’s response, not explaining the reasons of the natural reaction.

Therefore, what is taking place is a multi-layered project to play blame game, manage public opinion in the world and pave the way for exerting further political, security, and military pressure on Iran. To react effectively against this media hype, it is necessary for pro-Resistance media and independent elites to correct this narration, clarifying the defensive and deterrence nature of this response since it is regarded as legitimate and essential for nations to give response to the continued acts of aggression./mehr
