The recent US-Israeli strikes on Iran have sparked widespread protests worldwide, highlighting the deepening crisis in the Middle East. This escalation is not an isolated incident, but rather a symptom of a broader pattern of US and Israeli aggression in the region. The protests demonstrate the growing resistance to these actions, as people from diverse backgrounds and nations come together to demand an end to the violence.
This narrative was produced by Al Jazeera, a Qatari-based news organization, for a global audience. The framing serves to highlight the immediate consequences of the US-Israeli strikes, while obscuring the underlying power dynamics and historical context that have led to this point. By focusing on the protests, the narrative inadvertently reinforces the notion that the US and Israel are the primary actors in this conflict, rather than acknowledging the agency and resistance of the Iranian people and other regional actors.

This framing omits the historical parallels between US and Israeli aggression in the Middle East, including the 1953 CIA-backed coup in Iran and the 1967 Six-Day War. It also fails to acknowledge the perspectives of marginalized communities within Iran, such as the Kurdish and Ahwazi Arab populations, who have been disproportionately affected by the conflict.

A regional peace process, facilitated by neutral third-party actors, could provide a platform for the US, Israel, and Iran to engage in direct dialogue and negotiate a peaceful resolution to the conflict. This process would require a commitment to mutual understanding and respect, as well as a willingness to compromise on key issues. By establishing a regional peace process, the parties involved could work towards a more stable and secure future for the Middle East.
The perspectives and needs of marginalized communities within Iran, such as the Kurdish and Ahwazi Arab populations, must be taken into account in any efforts to resolve the conflict.

By supporting marginalized communities, we can help to build a more inclusive and equitable society in the Middle East.
Economic cooperation between the US, Israel, and Iran could provide a foundation for peace and stability in the region.
