But the now three-day duration of rallies and protests that have found their way to Tehran have gone largely unnoticed in America’s corporate media apparatus. The New York Times simply described the protests as economic grievances, the same way Iranian state-run television described them. The somewhat muted reaction to thousands of people rising up against the Iranian regime can and should be compared to the attention the Arab Spring received in 2010. The Obama administration reportedly took the action to appease Iran and facilitate a nuclear deal. If the Iranian regime is ousted, the move would neuter Hezbollah’s primary source of funding.
