Western legacy media is failing to tell the truth on the US-Israeli war on Iran, says a leading US academic and analyst.
“Mass murder has been normalised,” said Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs in an interview with the Chinese channel CGTN Live.
He argues that mainstream media in the US and Europe is not reporting the truth about what is really happening in the Middle East.

Professor Sachs describes how he attended a UN Security Council meeting on the day that the US-Israeli bombing started.
“And what did all the Western countries do? They attacked Iran for being bombed.
“You know this is propaganda. This is so-called narrative control.
“So yes, mass murder has been normalised.”
