Israel & CIA Behind Iran Protests To Get U.S. To Attack! w/ Scott Ritter (Jimmy Dore)
As protests in Iran have heated up, western media has actively exaggerated and selectively framed the violence by using casualty figures from U.S.- and Israel-funded NGOs — all in order to build public support for another regime-change war. Former CIA officer John Kiriakou and guest Scott Ritter claim protests were infiltrated by foreign intelligence networks and that Israel and the U.S. are using “human rights” narratives similarly to the way they were used in Iraq and Syria.
Jimmy and Ritter contend that Iran’s government responded to armed unrest rather than peaceful protest, while mainstream outlets ignore attacks on police and public infrastructure. They warn that propaganda, sanctions, and media coordination are laying the groundwork for a wider U.S.–Israel conflict with Iran.
The same tactics used in Syria were/are being used in Iran, with protesters killing security forces, and also killing other protesters, to ramp up tensions. The Western media doesn't show this, and only shows the retaliation of the Iranian Government. Iran needs to sort out its own problems without outside intervention.
