Iran's ‘last chance’ in peace talks?

The Iran peace talks are a distraction from the real crisis: the US government's willingness to use military force to enforce its will, regardless of the cost in human lives.

The contrast between the US 'last chance' framing and South Africa's silence on colonial violence reveals a deeper pattern of power and impunity. The US media's focus on Iran's 'last chance' ignores the devastating humanitarian impact of US sanctions on ordinary Iranians, while South Africa's coverage fails to mention its own history of colonial violence and ongoing support for Israel. This silence is consistent with the US government's willingness to use military force to enforce its will, regardless of the cost in human lives.
