from Russia Insider:

Operating as imperial mouthpieces, US establishment media are hostile toward all sovereign independent nations on its target list for regime change.

They’re countries unwilling to sacrifice their sovereign rights to US interests.

Iran tops the list of Middle East nations Washington wants transformed into a vassal state — to gain control over its vast hydrocarbon resources and eliminate Israel’s main rival.

Ignoring endless US wars on humanity at home and abroad, and Iran’s regional peace, stability and mutual cooperation agenda, the NYT earlier turned truth on its head, falsely claiming

“Tehran uses religious arguments, anti-imperialist nationalism, and neo-Stalinist repression to ensure compliance (sic).”

The above reads like a State Department propaganda press release — published by the Times, consistent with its press agent services for the state.

The above characterization is polar opposite how Iran operates, abhorrent of endless wars, related violence, and repression in all forms.

They’re US, NATO, Israeli specialties, including atrocities, what the Times and other establishment media consistently ignore — blaming victims of US high crimes for what’s committed against them.

Despite US war on Iran by other means, notably Trump’s sanctions war and medical terrorism, the Islamic Republic is way outdoing the US in combating COVID-19.

The US leads the world with over 960,000 outbreaks and around 55,000 deaths because of Trump regime failings in dealing with the coronavirus, notably his regime’s indifference toward the health and welfare of ordinary people at home and abroad.

On Saturday, Iranian deputy health minister Iraj Harirchi announced significant progress in containing COVID-19 outbreaks, saying the following:

“There is a declining trend in corona disease in most provinces, and this has been the result of effective actions by the people and the government.”

Outbreaks are 50% below their peak numbers, deaths down about 70%, remarkable results given enormous US imposed obstacles on the country, its ruling authorities and people.

Overall, nations illegally sanctioned by the US are more successful than the world’s richest country in containing and dealing with coronavirus outbreaks.

It’s testimony to their public health diligence compared to Trump and congressional indifference toward all things relating to the rights, needs and welfare of ordinary people.

Iranian President Rouhani noted that things “are on the path to control the disease,” adding:

“The path to fighting and controlling this disease definitely cannot be traversed without the support of the people.”

Outbreaks in Iran number about 89,000, the death toll around 5,600. Over 66,000 infected Iranians recovered and are well again.

Leave it to the neocon/CIA house organ Washington Post to throw cold water on its remarkable public health accomplishments.
