False narratives, dubious headlines and one-sided reporting. Here’s how Western media continues to justify America and Israel’s brutal war of aggression in the Middle East.

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.

The fact that Iran's president is honouring Jesus and the Pope while Trump insults both, and US-Israeli bombs destroyed a synagogue in Tehran last week, while Israel bombed churches in Gaza, is quite telling.

As journalists, we should be careful about not unknowingly parroting warmongering propaganda wrapped up in succinct buzzwords like "regime change." It's the same arguments we heard in 2003; let's not repeat the mistakes of the past. We all know where "regime change" leads to.

Using "regime" to describe Iran justifies the US and Israel's aggression on the country. A regime always needs to be changed as it is "illegitimate" - but many Iranians don't agree. Besides why should we dictate the political system of another nation?

For those insisting on using the word "regime" to refer to the Iranian government, this passage from Steven Poole's book Unspeak is relevant. We clearly learnt nothing from the Iraq War.

According to this, the Strait of Hormuz is fully open to all civilian ships, including American. Only because the US has imposed a war on them, they've had to lay mines and create a system to coordinate civilian cargo through. Stop the war, the ships sail.
Emma Murphy@emmamurphyitv

Exclusive: Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister @SKhatibzadeh tells me for @itvnews the Strait of Hormuz is open to all civilian shipping and reports it is closed are wrong. However, due to mines as a consequence of the war, all vessels need to liaise with Iran to be guided along safe routes. “Anybody who communicates with the Iranian authority has got permission to pass.”

@emmamurphyitv @itvnews @SKhatibzadeh Credit to ITV News. They do a better job of asking questions than the BBC without the accusatory tone and judgement which doesn't get us any answers. At least here we've got new information and you've let the minister answer properly.

"Netanyahu's contempt for life and international law is intolerable ... there must be no impunity for such criminal acts." While most Western leaders remain silent when Israel commits mass atrocities, Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez takes the most principled stance of any European leader by condemning Israel's barbaric attacks on civilians in Lebanon today.

I've written for Middle East Eye about the use of phrases such as "Iran-backed" by BBC and others, their failure to adequately source or explain the terms, and how their bias plays into the hands of the U.S. and Israel. middleeasteye.net/opinion/what-d…

@dlLambo Deeply sickening and irresponsible to publish this warmongering propaganda, which manufactures consent for war and excuses the use of horrific nuclear weapons, which would kill and injure thousands of innocent people and harm generations to come.

The BBC has no shame. They currently have a main article where they quote an "Iranian" who is supposedly okay with the US/Israel levelling Iran by using a nuclear weapon. Read that again. This is staggeringly false and beyond sicking. Further manufactured consent begins...

This is something I have been worrying a lot about. We have psychopaths waging this war. We have seen Netanyahu gleefully carry out a genocide in Gaza reducing it to a nuclear bomb site. Why would he not go further now in Iran? There has been absolutely no consequences for his war crimes in Gaza. Trump has only assisted them. This has got to stop. As the citizens of the world we have to stop this. They can not be allowed to carry out a nuclear strike on the millions of innocent people of Iran. These are our fellow human beings, regardless of their leaders. This is insanity.
Mohamad Safa@mhdksafa

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late. Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

"If they really cared about Muslim women, they would stop killing Muslim women." Editor-in-chief of Analyst News Atif Rashid outlines the double standards of mainstream media and Western politicians after a U.S. missile killed 160 schoolchildren killed in Iran. There has since been no explanation, apology or remorse shown by U.S. officials, some of whom used the pretext of 'women's rights' to justify this war of aggression against Iran.

Rob Rinder asks the defence secretary about Israeli claims that Iran has missiles that can reach Britain. Healey says the govt has no assessment of that. So Rinder asks, is Israel lying, exaggerating or wrong?

Whatever your view of Iran, this war is not of their making. This is already causing widespread economic problems and I fear they promise to get much worse if the war continues. Oman is working intensively to put in place safe passage arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz.
