Renaming Doesn’t Alter Reality
It wasn’t so long ago that “Economic Sanctions” were considered an Act Of War. Any serious student of history remembers that Japan was goaded into World War 2 by cutting off its access to oil.
Even the Epoch Times has bought into the Orwellian perversion of language.
I should expect better, but I have low expectations on things like that so I can’t say I’m surprised, just disappointed again.

President [sic] Joe Biden’s administration announced a new round of sanctions on April 18, intended to punish key figures in Iran’s drone programs after those weapons systems were used to strike Israel on April 13.
[What, Iran is a bratty 2-year-old that has to be disciplined by Father Biden? What about all of the unwarranted warfare and slaughter emanating from the US and inflicted around the world?]
[Snip]
The Iranian government launched its missile and drone barrage against Israel in response to an April 1 airstrike targeting the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, Syria. The Iranian government concluded that Israeli forces were responsible for the attack, in which Iranian military officers were killed.
[So Iran is supposed to bend over in the showers and take it like a man? At least the Epoch Times points out that the US, through its puppet Israeli “government”, provoked the response after its murderous attacks.]
