YES, WE ARE THE BADDIES. The west and its global westernized political-journalistic classes are clearly the people with double standards. And this writer is also one of the baddies, having worked for the western MSM for decades.
On the Iran issue, how quickly people forget! It was just last summer that the western mainstream media widely admitted that Trump and Netanyahu had united the people of Iran.
“Patriotism gained new currency, and national pride was on most lips,” said Tehran-based academic Hossein Hamdieh in the UK Guardian newspaper in June, 2025. That included "dissidents", he said.
Even the wildly pro-west BBC admitted that Iranian dissidents were now supporting the government: “However, rather than triggering internal unrest, Israel's strikes have provoked a renewed surge of nationalist sentiment among some critics of the Islamic Republic.”
The New York Times quoted an Iranian man named Saeed: “Even the staunchest opponents of the Islamic Republic have been humiliated so much, that they wish we would attack American bases, even though they know harder days will follow.”

ILLEGAL ATTACK
This dramatic flip in narrative occurred after Israel launched an illegal attack on Iran from June 13, 2025, continuing for 12 days, killing more than 900 people and injuring 4,700.
This was followed by a US bombing of three sites in Iran on June 22, 2025, on fictional WMD claims that were eerily similar to the false pretences under which the US invaded neighboring Iraq in 2003.
The United Kingdom, Germany, and France said they supported Israel, with German leader Friedrich Merz, saying: “This is dirty work that Israel is doing for all of us.” The west’s top military leader NATO secretary general Mark Rutte praised and thanked Donald Trump for bombing Iran, describing it as a “decisive action” that was "truly extraordinary and something no one else dared to do”. (Perhaps because most countries think that following international law is a good thing, Mr Rutte?)
China took an opposite stance, saying that killing people made things worse. Foreign minister Wang Yi said that such attacks “will only ignite wider conflict and deepen enmity”.
China got it right.

THEN CAME THE REVERSE FLIP
When a Mossad/ CIA/ NED armed insurgency tried to topple the Iranian government in January of 2026, the western mainstream media then flipped back dramatically the other way – reverting to the idiotic earlier fiction that most people of Iran were united against their government.
Western journalists printed that “NGOs” had discovered that the government had slaughtered 36,500 (or 50,000 or 80,000) “peaceful protesters” in just two days, while going out of the way to hide the fact that these fictional figures came from propaganda groups financed by the US government.

FLIPPING AGAIN
Now, this week, we can all see stunning videos of millions of people thronging the streets of Tehran to remember Ali Khamenei and his family, and once again parts of the western mainstream media are being forced to flip once more.
Again they are admitting that the people of Iran, in general, stand with their leadership.
In particular, Peter Hitchens of the Mail on Sunday has openly said that the west has obvious double standards on international conflicts.
Yes, Mr Hitchens, we have all been saying that on a daily basis for years, while you and your employers worked really hard to cover up the truth. It's time for a media revolution.
