The US-Iran conflict has been driven by a complex web of historical, cultural, and economic factors, including the US's long-standing support for authoritarian regimes in the region and its desire to maintain control over global oil markets. Trump's address will likely downplay these structural causes, instead focusing on the perceived success of his administration's policies. This narrative obscures the ongoing power struggle between the US and Iran, as well as the devastating humanitarian consequences of the conflict.
This narrative was produced by Reuters, a Western news agency with a history of serving the interests of the US government and corporate elites. The framing of the story serves to obscure the structural causes of the conflict and reinforce the dominant narrative of US exceptionalism, while marginalizing the perspectives of Iranian citizens and regional experts.
