Diego Garcia Goes From False Flag to Fake News; Israel’s Fear Campaign Flounders

If Diego Garcia was used to sell fear before the proof existed, Britain needs an investigation, not another lie used to drag us closer to war. Right, so Israel and its friends have spent days trying to sell one very simple story. Iran fired missiles at Diego Garcia, that joint American-British base in the Indian Ocean, and therefore Europe should stop hanging back, stop asking awkward questions, and start feeling properly frightened, because if they can reach Diego Garcia, then they can reach you. In fact they’ve even rolled out their Chief of Staff, the head of the IDF just to nail on how big an issue this is for Europe. Curious that that message was clearly meant for Western interests, yet was still delivered in Hebrew without subtitles, I added those myself, so who are you trying to convince here exactly? Anyway, this story has readily started slipping all over the place. Iran denied it. Iranian officials called it a false flag, well Israel have never pulled those before have they? But equally Iran typically owns up to what it targets, they don’t beat around the bush. British ministers have refused to say Iran was targeting Britain, Diego Garcia of course being a joint UK-US base and that should raise alarm bells given that they usually shout how high the moment Israel tells Starmer’s regime to jump. NATO would not back the full panic line either. And of course the public has still not been shown the sort of evidence that would settle a claim this large. No public radar track. No public satellite release. No public debris trail. No public intercept record. Just a claim from Israeli and US sources, then a bigger claim, then a fear campaign built on top of both, and Benjamin Netanyahu now has the delightful problem of standing next to a story that has moved from “Iran did it” to “was this a setup?” to “hold on, are we even sure anything actually happened at all?” because yes, that’s the latest claim, that actually, nothing happened at all – and with no public evidence, what proof is there otherwise?
