🗣Recycled blatant lies: US, Israel push for regime change in Iran – expert

🇺🇸🇮🇱The US and Israel are pushing a “primitive, vulgar pretext” to justify aggression against Iran, says Professor Alfred de Zayas, a former UN Independent Expert on International Order.”

✅Facts? Irrelevant

💬 “Blatant lies, propaganda and demonization of Iran suffices to create an atmosphere that would dupe the American people and the world into ‘tolerating’ an invasion,” he notes.

Both the IAEA and US intelligence admit there's “zero evidence” Iran is building a bomb, he underscores. Even if they were, military force is expressly prohibited under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter. Aggression is a crime under the Rome Statute.

✅Same playbook, different target

Disregarding international law and the UN Charter, the US and Israel are recycling the 2003 tactics – false WMD claims – that were used to justify regime change in Iraq, the expert notes.
Now, even more countries, like France and Germany, are on board with this.

✅Mainstream media? Complicit as ever

💬 “The media bears considerable responsibility for this tragedy that may yet develop into World War III,” the pundit warns.
