What the mainstream media fails to acknowledge is that this terror army was not an inexplicable monster—it was made in America. Journalist Ben Swann’s 2015 documentary details how this happened. A declassified August 2012 Defence Intelligence Agency memo explicitly predicted the rise of a "Salafist principality" in eastern Syria and western Iraq—exactly what became the ISIS caliphate. The DIA noted that "western countries, the Gulf states and Turkey" were supporting the opposition, “in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of the Shia expansion (Iraq and Iran)”. Beginning in 2012, the CIA, MI6, Saudi intelligence, and Qatari security services began training and arming Syrian rebels in Jordan. But these "moderate rebels" quickly became conduits. Within months, the weapons—anti-tank missiles, ammunition, even US-made M16 rifles—were in ISIS hands, sometimes within "days or weeks" of purchase. The collapse of Mosul sealed the deal. As Iraqi soldiers fled, they abandoned truckloads of US-supplied Humvees, tanks, and weaponry—all seized by ISIS and paraded in propaganda videos while Washington did nothing. In response to the western-backed Takfiri onslaught, Iran deployed its military advisors, Hezbollah sent its battle-hardened fighters, Iraqi Popular Mobilisation Forces mobilised hundreds of thousands, and the Syrian Arab Army—backed by Russian airpower—ground down the caliphate street by street. This was the Axis of Resistance in action: the same coalition the US and Israel are now bombing. Today, the US and Israel are attacking Iran—the very nation whose forces were instrumental in defeating ISIS. They are bombing the coalition that cleaned up their mess. The war on Iran is not about nuclear weapons or regional stability. It is about destroying the only force capable of filling the vacuum that American wars create. The same empire that incubated ISIS now seeks to eliminate those who defeated it.
