DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: US assassinated Iranian General Soleimani to plunge the Middle East into chaos

SUMMARY

US assassinated Iranian General Soleimani in order to plunge the Middle East into a state of chaos from which only the US and its allies, especially Israel, will emerge as victorious. The USA’s efforts to reshape the Middle East aim to implement Brzezinski’s doctrine for the partition of Russia and to preventively contain China.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory. Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the US and Western foreign policies allegedly promoting chaos around the world and pursuing a belligerent and hostile agenda against Russia and China.

The US strike that killed General Soleimani is the latest in a series of escalations between Iran and the United States in the region and, most recently, in Iraq.

Read here a similar case claiming that the West’s geopolitical goal is to destroy the alternative poles of power – Russia and China – because they challenge the unipolar liberal world order.
