Neocolonial forces named in attack on Iran

Strong evidence suggests that [Zionism’s neocolony] carried out the attack. Even the historically pro-imperialist and pro-Zionist New York Times published an article Feb. 16, entitled, “Israel Was Behind Attacks on Major Gas Pipelines in Iran, Officials Say.”
The Feb. 16 article reports: “Israel carried out covert attacks on two major natural gas pipelines inside Iran this week, disrupting the flow of heat and cooking gas to provinces with millions of people, according to two Western officials and a military strategist affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps.” The same piece highlights how energy experts believe the attacks knocked out an estimated “15% of Iran’s natural daily gas production.”
The article continues: “Israel has long targeted military and nuclear sites inside Iran — and assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists and commanders, both inside and outside of the country. Israel has also waged cyberattacks to disable servers belonging to the oil ministry, causing turmoil at gas stations nationwide.”
The corporate media had refused earlier to acknowledge the possibility of U.S. or [neocolonial] involvement in the attack. Just a few years ago, such a critique of [neocolonial] actions seemed unimaginable in any U.S. bourgeois publication. The Times article still downplays U.S. complicity.
