+
+Library which converts HTML to [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) for your sanity and convenience.
+
+
+**Requires**: PHP 5.3+ or PHP 7.0+
+
+**Lead Developer**: [@colinodell](http://twitter.com/colinodell)
+
+**Original Author**: [@nickcernis](http://twitter.com/nickcernis)
+
+
+### Why convert HTML to Markdown?
+
+*"What alchemy is this?"* you mutter. *"I can see why you'd convert [Markdown to HTML](https://github.com/thephpleague/commonmark),"* you continue, already labouring the question somewhat, *"but why go the other way?"*
+
+Typically you would convert HTML to Markdown if:
+
+1. You have an existing HTML document that needs to be edited by people with good taste.
+2. You want to store new content in HTML format but edit it as Markdown.
+3. You want to convert HTML email to plain text email. 
+4. You know a guy who's been converting HTML to Markdown for years, and now he can speak Elvish. You'd quite like to be able to speak Elvish.
+5. You just really like Markdown.
+
+### How to use it
+
+Require the library by issuing this command:
+
+```bash
+composer require league/html-to-markdown
+```
+
+Add `require 'vendor/autoload.php';` to the top of your script.
+
+Next, create a new HtmlConverter instance, passing in your valid HTML code to its `convert()` function:
+
+```php
+use League\HTMLToMarkdown\HtmlConverter;
+
+$converter = new HtmlConverter();
+
+$html = "
Quick, to the Batpoles!
";
+$markdown = $converter->convert($html);
+```
+
+The `$markdown` variable now contains the Markdown version of your HTML as a string:
+
+```php
+echo $markdown; // ==> ### Quick, to the Batpoles!
+```
+
+The included `demo` directory contains an HTML->Markdown conversion form to try out.
+
+### Conversion options
+
+By default, HTML To Markdown preserves HTML tags without Markdown equivalents, like `` and `
`.
+
+To strip HTML tags that don't have a Markdown equivalent while preserving the content inside them, set `strip_tags` to true, like this:
+
+```php
+$converter = new HtmlConverter(array('strip_tags' => true));
+
+$html = 'Turnips!';
+$markdown = $converter->convert($html); // $markdown now contains "Turnips!"
+```
+
+Or more explicitly, like this:
+
+```php
+$converter = new HtmlConverter();
+$converter->getConfig()->setOption('strip_tags', true);
+
+$html = 'Turnips!';
+$markdown = $converter->convert($html); // $markdown now contains "Turnips!"
+```
+
+Note that only the tags themselves are stripped, not the content they hold.
+
+To strip tags and their content, pass a space-separated list of tags in `remove_nodes`, like this:
+
+```php
+$converter = new HtmlConverter(array('remove_nodes' => 'span div'));
+
+$html = 'Turnips!
Monkeys!
';
+$markdown = $converter->convert($html); // $markdown now contains ""
+```
+
+### Style options
+
+By default bold tags are converted using the asterisk syntax, and italic tags are converted using the underlined syntax. Change these by using the `bold_style` and `italic_style` options.
+
+```php
+$converter = new HtmlConverter();
+$converter->getConfig()->setOption('italic_style', '*');
+$converter->getConfig()->setOption('bold_style', '__');
+
+$html = 'Italic and a bold';
+$markdown = $converter->convert($html); // $markdown now contains "*Italic* and a __bold__"
+```
+
+### Line break options
+
+By default, `br` tags are converted to two spaces followed by a newline character as per [traditional Markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#p). Set `hard_break` to `true` to omit the two spaces, as per GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM).
+
+```php
+$converter = new HtmlConverter();
+$html = '
test
line break
';
+
+$converter->getConfig()->setOption('hard_break', true);
+$markdown = $converter->convert($html); // $markdown now contains "test\nline break"
+
+$converter->getConfig()->setOption('hard_break', false); // default
+$markdown = $converter->convert($html); // $markdown now contains "test  \nline break"
+```
+
+### Passing custom Environment object
+
+You can pass current `Environment` object to customize i.e. which converters should be used.
+
+```php
+$environment = new Environment(array(
+    // your configuration here
+));
+$environment->addConverter(new HeaderConverter()); // optionally - add converter manually
+
+$converter = new HtmlConverter($environment);
+
+$html = '
Header

+
+';
+$markdown = $converter->convert($html); // $markdown now contains "### Header" and ""
+```
+
+### Limitations
+
+- Markdown Extra, MultiMarkdown and other variants aren't supported – just Markdown.
+
+### Known issues
+
+- Nested lists and lists containing multiple paragraphs aren't converted correctly.
+- Lists inside blockquotes aren't converted correctly.
+- Any reported [open issues here](https://github.com/thephpleague/html-to-markdown/issues?state=open).
+
+[Report your issue or request a feature here.](https://github.com/thephpleague/html-to-markdown/issues/new) Issues with patches or failing tests are especially welcome.
+
+### Style notes
+
+- Setext (underlined) headers are the default for H1 and H2. If you prefer the ATX style for H1 and H2 (# Header 1 and ## Header 2), set `header_style` to 'atx' in the options array when you instantiate the object:
+
+    `$converter = new HtmlConverter(array('header_style'=>'atx'));`
+
+     Headers of H3 priority and lower always use atx style.
+
+- Links and images are referenced inline. Footnote references (where image src and anchor href attributes are listed in the footnotes) are not used. 
+- Blockquotes aren't line wrapped – it makes the converted Markdown easier to edit.
+
+### Dependencies
+
+HTML To Markdown requires PHP's [xml](http://www.php.net/manual/en/xml.installation.php), [lib-xml](http://www.php.net/manual/en/libxml.installation.php), and [dom](http://www.php.net/manual/en/dom.installation.php) extensions, all of which are enabled by default on most distributions.
+
+Errors such as "Fatal error: Class 'DOMDocument' not found" on distributions such as CentOS that disable PHP's xml extension can be resolved by installing php-xml.
+
+### Contributors
+
+Many thanks to all [contributors](https://github.com/thephpleague/html-to-markdown/graphs/contributors) so far. Further improvements and feature suggestions are very welcome.

+HTML To Markdown creates a DOMDocument from the supplied HTML, walks through the tree, and converts each node to a text node containing the equivalent markdown, starting from the most deeply nested node and working inwards towards the root node.
+
+### To-do
+
+- Support for nested lists and lists inside blockquotes.
+- Offer an option to preserve tags as HTML if they contain attributes that can't be represented with Markdown (e.g. `style`).
+
+### Trying to convert Markdown to HTML?
+
+Use one of these great libraries:
+
+ - [league/commonmark](https://github.com/thephpleague/commonmark) (recommended)
+ - [cebe/markdown](https://github.com/cebe/markdown)
+ - [PHP Markdown](https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/)
+ - [Parsedown](https://github.com/erusev/parsedown)
+
+No guarantees about the Elvish, though.

+Markdown Test!

+**([FAIR.org](https://fair.org/home/trump-admin-follows-corporate-media-playbook-for-war-with-iran/))** — Three years ago, as Americans debated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran—popularly known as “the Iran deal”—I highlighted a troubling media trend on **FAIR.org** ([8/20/15](https://fair.org/home/giving-war-a-chance/)): “For nearly all commentators, regardless of their position, war is the only alternative to that position.”
+
+In the months since US President Donald Trump tore up the JCPOA agreement, his administration has been trying to make good on corporate media’s collective prediction. Last week, John Bolton (**BBC**, [9/26/18](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45647863)), Trump’s national security advisor and chief warmonger, told Iran’s leaders and the world that there would be “hell to pay” if they dare to “cross us.”
+
+![](https://theantimedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/BBC-John-Bolton-610x343.jpg)John Bolton (**BBC**, [9/26/18](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45647863)): “Let my message today be clear: We are watching, and we will come after you.”That Bolton’s bellicose statements do not send shockwaves of pure horror across a [debt-strapped](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-economy-budget/u-s-government-posts-214-billion-deficit-in-august-idUSKCN1LT2XL) and [war-weary](https://nyti.ms/2N7cg3m) United States is thanks in large part to incessant priming for war, facilitated by corporate media across the entire political spectrum, with a particular focus on Iran.
+
+Back in 2015, while current “resistance” stalwarts like the **Washington Post** ([4/2/15](https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/a-nuclear-deal-with-iran-is-the-best-option/2015/04/02/bc8292d2-d978-11e4-8103-fa84725dbf9d_story.html)) and **Politico** ([8/11/15](//www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/08/iran-deal-rejection-121257.html)) warned us that war with Iran was the most likely alternative to the JCPOA, conservative standard-bearers such as **Fox News** ([7/14/15](//insider.foxnews.com/2015/07/14/dick-cheney-hannity-iran-nuke-deal-brings-world-closer-nuclear-war)) and the **Washington Times** ([8/10/15](//www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/aug/10/ed-feulner-iran-nuclear-deal-makes-war-more-likely/)) foretold that war with Iran was the agreement’s most likely outcome. Three years hence, this dynamic has not changed.
+
+![](https://theantimedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/NYT-Iran-Deal-War-610x411.jpg)Cartoonist Patrick Chappatte (**New York Times**, [5/10/18](https://nyti.ms/2I9LCnJ)) presents Trump and Bolton’s “deal” for Iran.To experience the full menu of US media’s single-mindedness about Iran, one need only buy a subscription to the **New York Times**. After Trump withdrew from the JCPOA, the **Times**’ editorial board ([5/8/18](https://nyti.ms/2HXldJD)) wrote that his move would “lay conditions for a possible wider war in the Middle East.” Susan Rice (**New York Times**, [5/8/18](https://nyti.ms/2FXt4kH)), President Barack Obama’s national security advisor, agreed: “We could face the choice of going to war or acquiescing to a nuclear-armed Iran,” she warned. Cartoonist Patrick Chappatte (**New York Times**, [5/10/18](https://nyti.ms/2I9LCnJ)) was characteristically more direct, penning an image of Trump alongside Bolton, holding a fictitious new agreement featuring the singular, ultimate word: “WAR.”
+
+On the other hand, calling Trump’s turn against JCPOA a “courageous decision,” **Times** columnist Bret Stephens ([5/8/18](https://nyti.ms/2FWTz9O)) explained that the move was meant to force the Iranian government to make a choice: Either accede to US demands or “pursue their nuclear ambitions at the cost of economic ruin and possible war.” (Hardly courageous, when we all know there is no chance that Trump or Stephens would enlist should war materialize.)

+Trump’s [latest antics](https://youtu.be/KfVdIKaQzW8) at the United Nations have spurred a wave of similar reaction across corporate media. Describing his threat to “totally destroy North Korea” at the UN General Assembly last year as “pointed and sharp,” **Fox News** anchor Eric Shawn ([9/23/18](https://video.foxnews.com/v/5838934710001/)) asked Bill Richardson, an Obama ally and President Bill Clinton’s ambassador to the UN, whether Trump would take the same approach toward Iran. “That aggressive policy we have with Iran is going to continue,” Richardson reassured the audience, “and I don’t think Iran is helping themselves.” In other words, if the United States starts a war with Iran, it’s totally Iran’s fault.
+
+**Politico** ([9/23/18](https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/23/trump-iran-war-foreign-policy-836411)), meanwhile, reported that Trump “is risking a potential war with Iran unless he engages the Islamist-led country using diplomacy.” In other words, if the United States starts a war with Iran, it’s totally Trump’s fault. Rice (**New York Times**, [9/26/18](https://nyti.ms/2N4AZjF)) reiterated her view that Trump’s rhetoric “presages the prospect of war in the Persian Gulf.” Whoever would be the responsible party is up for debate, but that war is in our future is apparently all but certain.
+
+**Politico**’s article cited a [statement](https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/coalitionagainstirannukes/Statement_Sept18.pdf) signed by such esteemed US experts on war-making as Madeleine Albright, who presided over Clinton’s [inhuman sanctions](https://nyti.ms/2tvy0MU) against Iraq in the ’90s, and Ryan Crocker, former ambassador for presidents George W. Bush and Obama to some of America’s favorite killing fields: Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria. James Clapper, Obama’s National Intelligence Director, who also signed the letter, played an [important role](https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/jun/4/likely-intel-chief-clapper-held-disputed-wmd-view/) in trumping up WMD evidence against Saddam Hussein before the United States invaded Iraq in 2003. When it comes to US aggression, they’re the experts.
+
+**Vanity Fair** ([9/26/18](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/09/john-bolton-iran-united-nations)) interviewed John Glaser of the Cato Institute, who called Trump’s strategy “pathetic,” and also warned that it forebodes war. In an effort to “one-up Obama,” Glaser explained, Trump’s plan is “to apply extreme economic pressure and explicit threats of war in order to get Iran to capitulate.” Sound familiar? As Glaser implies, this was [exactly Obama’s strategy](https://theintercept.com/2015/08/06/obama-summarizes-record/), only then it wasn’t seen as “pathetic,” but rather reasonable, and the sole means for preventing the war that every US pundit and politician saw around the corner (**The Hill**, [8/9/15](https://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/250683-sanders-war-the-alternative-if-iran-deal-fails)).
+
+When everyone decides that war is the only other possibility, it starts to look like an inevitability. But even when they aren’t overtly stoking war fever against Iran, corporate media prime the militaristic pump in more subtle yet equally disturbing ways.

Rather than ask Iranians directly, national outlets like **CNN** ([9/29/18](https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2018/09/29/labott-netanyahu-iran-regime-intv-sot-vpx.cnn)) prefer to invite the prime minister of Israel, [serial Iran alarmist](https://theintercept.com/2015/03/02/brief-history-netanyahu-crying-wolf-iranian-nuclear-bomb/) and regional pariah Benjamin Netanyahu, to speak for them. During a jovial discussion this weekend over whether regime change and/or economic collapse is Iran’s most likely fate, Netanyahu explained to the audience that, either way, “The ones who will be happiest if that happens are the people of Iran.” No people of Iran were on hand to confirm or deny this assessment.
+
+**Bloomberg** ([9/30/18](https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-09-30/what-s-not-to-like-about-trump-iran-oil-sanctions-100-oil)) similarly wanted to know, “What’s not to like about Trump’s Iran oil sanctions?” Julian Lee gleefully reported that “they are crippling exports from the Islamic Republic, at minimal cost to the US.” One might think the [toll sanctions take](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/08/iran-doctors-sanctions-endangering-patients-lives-180830064012071.html) on innocent Iranians would be something not to like, but **Bloomberg** merely worried that, notwithstanding the windfall for US refineries, “oil at $100 a barrel would be bad news for drivers everywhere—including those in the US.”
+
+Another prized tactic is to [whitewash Saudi Arabia](https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/03/05/the-1-5-billion-campaign-to-whitewash-genocide-in-yemen/), Iran’s chief geopolitical rival, whose genocidal destruction of Yemen is made possible by the United States, about which corporate media remain overwhelmingly silent (**FAIR.org**,[ 7/23/18](https://fair.org/home/action-alert-its-been-over-a-year-since-msnbc-has-mentioned-us-war-in-yemen/)). Iran’s involvement in Yemen, which both Trump and the **New York Times** ([9/12/18](https://nyti.ms/2MqieXJ)) describe as “malign behavior,” is a principal justification for US support of Saudi Arabia, including the[ US-supplied bombs](https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/17/middleeast/us-saudi-yemen-bus-strike-intl/index.html) that recently ended the brief lives of over 40 Yemeni schoolchildren. Lockheed Martin’s stock is [up 34 percent](https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/LMT/historical?siteid=mktw&date=01%2F20%2F2017)from Trump’s inauguration day.
+
+Corporate media go beyond a simple coverup of Saudi crimes to evangelize their leadership as the liberal antidote to Iran’s “theocracy.” Who can forget Thomas Friedman’s revolting puff piece for the Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman? Extensively quoting Salman (**New York Times**, [11/23/17](https://nyti.ms/2i0mwfg)), who refers to Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as “the new Hitler of the Middle East,” Friedman nevertheless remains pessimistic about whether “MBS and his team” can see their stand against Iran through, as “dysfunction and rivalries within the Sunni Arab world generally have prevented forming a unified front.” Oh well, every team needs cheerleaders, and Friedman isn’t just a fair-weather fan.
+
+While Friedman (**New York Times**, [5/15/18](https://nyti.ms/2GmBgLo)) believes that Trump has drawn “some needed attention to Iran’s bad behavior,” for him pivotal questions remain unanswered, such as “who is going to take over in Tehran if the current Islamic regime collapses?” One immediate fix he proposed was to censure Iran’s metaphorical “occupation” of Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. Isn’t this ironic coming from an unapologetic propagandist for Washington’s decades-long, non-metaphorical occupation of the two countries to the east and west of Iran (**FAIR.org**, [12/9/15](https://fair.org/home/friedman-goes-after-trump-hey-massive-bombing-was-my-idea/))?
+
+In a surprising break from corporate media convention, **USA Today** ([9/26/18](https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2018/09/26/iran-united-states-foreign-policy-iraq-war-column/1379872002/)) published a column on US/Iran relations written by an actual Iranian. Reflecting on the [CIA-orchestrated coup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat) against Iran’s elected government in 1953, Azadeh Shahshahani, who was born four days after the 1979 revolution there, wrote:
+
+> “I often wonder what would have happened if that coup had not worked, if \[Prime Minister\] Mosaddeq had been allowed to govern, if democracy had been allowed to flourish.”
+
+“It is time for the US government to stop intervening in Iran and let the Iranian people determine their own destiny,” she beseeched readers.
+
+![](https://theantimedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Real-News-Code-Pink-610x343.png)Code Pink’s Medea Benjamin confronts the head of Trump’s “Iran Action Group” (**Real News**, [9/21/18](https://youtu.be/peJGmeg6ZE8)).Shahshahani’s call is supported by some who have rejected corporate media’s war propaganda and have gone to extreme lengths to have their perspectives heard. Anti-war activist and Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin was recently forcibly removed after she upstaged Brian Hook, leader of Trump’s Iran Action Group, on live TV, calling his press conference “the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen” (**Real News**, [9/21/18](https://youtu.be/peJGmeg6ZE8)). Benjamin implored the audience: “Let’s talk about Saudi Arabia. Is that who our allies are?”
+
+“How dare you bring up the issue of Yemen,” admonished Benjamin as she was dragged from the room. “It’s the Saudi bombing that is killing most people in Yemen. So let’s get real. No more war! Peace with Iran!” Code Pink is [currently petitioning](https://www.codepink.org/dont_iraq_iran?utm_campaign=iran_national_sept25) the **New York Times** and **Washington Post** to stop propagandizing war.
+
+Sadly, no matter whom you ask in corporate media, be they spokespeople for “Trump’s America” or “the resistance,” peace remains an elusive choice in the US political imagination. And while the public was focused last week on Supreme Court nominee [Brett Kavanaugh’s ](https://youtu.be/7zVOkb3CdZ0)[perjurious testimony](https://www.currentaffairs.org/2018/09/how-we-know-kavanaugh-is-lying), the Senate finalized a[$674 billion “defense” budget](https://www.democracynow.org/2018/9/20/headlines/senate_passes_674_billion_military_spending_bill). Every single Democrat in the chamber voted in favor of the bill, [explicitly naming Iran](https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/6157/text) as persona non grata in the United States’[world-leading arms supply network](https://www.sipri.org/news/press-release/2018/asia-and-middle-east-lead-rising-trend-arms-imports-us-exports-grow-significantly-says-sipri), which has seen a 25 percent increase in exports since Obama took office in 2009.
+
+The US government’s imperial ambitions are perhaps its only truly bipartisan project—what the **New York Times** euphemistically refers to as “globalism.” Nowhere was this on fuller display than at the funeral for Republican Sen. John McCain (**FAIR.org**,[ 9/11/18](https://fair.org/home/maverick-media-use-mccain-funeral-to-shore-up-us-imperialism/)), where politicians of all stripes were tripping over themselves to produce the best accolades for a man who [infamously sang](https://youtu.be/o-zoPgv_nYg)“bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran” to the tune of a Beach Boys song.
+
+McCain’s bloodlust was nothing new. Nearly a hundred years ago, after the West’s imperial competition culminated in the most destructive war the world had ever seen, the brilliant American sociologist and anti-colonial author WEB Du Bois [wrote](https://www.gutenberg.org/files/15210/15210-h/15210-h.htm), “This is not Europe gone mad; this is not aberration nor insanity; this *is* Europe.”
+
+Iranian leaders have repeatedly said they do not want war with the US (**AP**, [9/27/18](https://apnews.com/1cb23ee1641041c5910595715f2ea334)), but US corporate media, despite frequently characterizing Trump as a “mad king” (**FAIR.org**, [6/13/18](https://fair.org/home/why-do-us-media-only-worry-about-one-authoritarians-nukes/)), continue to play an instrumental role in rationalizing a future war with Iran. Should such an intentional catastrophe come to pass, we can hardly say that this would be America gone mad; war is not aberration, it is always presented as the next sane choice. This *is* America.

(FAIR.org) — Three years ago, as Americans debated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran—popularly known as “the Iran deal”—I highlighted a troubling media trend on FAIR.org (8/20/15): “For nearly all commentators, regardless of their position, war is the only alternative to that position.”

+
In the months since US President Donald Trump tore up the JCPOA agreement, his administration has been trying to make good on corporate media’s collective prediction. Last week, John Bolton (BBC, 9/26/18), Trump’s national security advisor and chief warmonger, told Iran’s leaders and the world that there would be “hell to pay” if they dare to “cross us.”

+
John Bolton (BBC, 9/26/18): “Let my message today be clear: We are watching, and we will come after you.”

+
That Bolton’s bellicose statements do not send shockwaves of pure horror across a debt-strapped and war-weary United States is thanks in large part to incessant priming for war, facilitated by corporate media across the entire political spectrum, with a particular focus on Iran.

+
Back in 2015, while current “resistance” stalwarts like the Washington Post (4/2/15) and Politico (8/11/15) warned us that war with Iran was the most likely alternative to the JCPOA, conservative standard-bearers such as Fox News (7/14/15) and the Washington Times (8/10/15) foretold that war with Iran was the agreement’s most likely outcome. Three years hence, this dynamic has not changed.

+
Cartoonist Patrick Chappatte (New York Times, 5/10/18) presents Trump and Bolton’s “deal” for Iran.

+
To experience the full menu of US media’s single-mindedness about Iran, one need only buy a subscription to the New York Times. After Trump withdrew from the JCPOA, the Times’ editorial board (5/8/18) wrote that his move would “lay conditions for a possible wider war in the Middle East.” Susan Rice (New York Times, 5/8/18), President Barack Obama’s national security advisor, agreed: “We could face the choice of going to war or acquiescing to a nuclear-armed Iran,” she warned. Cartoonist Patrick Chappatte (New York Times, 5/10/18) was characteristically more direct, penning an image of Trump alongside Bolton, holding a fictitious new agreement featuring the singular, ultimate word: “WAR.”

+
On the other hand, calling Trump’s turn against JCPOA a “courageous decision,” Times columnist Bret Stephens (5/8/18) explained that the move was meant to force the Iranian government to make a choice: Either accede to US demands or “pursue their nuclear ambitions at the cost of economic ruin and possible war.” (Hardly courageous, when we all know there is no chance that Trump or Stephens would enlist should war materialize.)

+
Trump’s latest antics at the United Nations have spurred a wave of similar reaction across corporate media. Describing his threat to “totally destroy North Korea” at the UN General Assembly last year as “pointed and sharp,” Fox News anchor Eric Shawn (9/23/18) asked Bill Richardson, an Obama ally and President Bill Clinton’s ambassador to the UN, whether Trump would take the same approach toward Iran. “That aggressive policy we have with Iran is going to continue,” Richardson reassured the audience, “and I don’t think Iran is helping themselves.” In other words, if the United States starts a war with Iran, it’s totally Iran’s fault.

+
Politico (9/23/18), meanwhile, reported that Trump “is risking a potential war with Iran unless he engages the Islamist-led country using diplomacy.” In other words, if the United States starts a war with Iran, it’s totally Trump’s fault. Rice (New York Times, 9/26/18) reiterated her view that Trump’s rhetoric “presages the prospect of war in the Persian Gulf.” Whoever would be the responsible party is up for debate, but that war is in our future is apparently all but certain.

+
Politico’s article cited a statement signed by such esteemed US experts on war-making as Madeleine Albright, who presided over Clinton’s inhuman sanctions against Iraq in the ’90s, and Ryan Crocker, former ambassador for presidents George W. Bush and Obama to some of America’s favorite killing fields: Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria.  James Clapper, Obama’s National Intelligence Director, who also signed the letter, played an important role in trumping up WMD evidence against Saddam Hussein before the United States invaded Iraq in 2003. When it comes to US aggression, they’re the experts.

Vanity Fair (9/26/18) interviewed John Glaser of the Cato Institute, who called Trump’s strategy “pathetic,” and also warned that it forebodes war. In an effort to “one-up Obama,” Glaser explained, Trump’s plan is “to apply extreme economic pressure and explicit threats of war in order to get Iran to capitulate.” Sound familiar? As Glaser implies, this was exactly Obama’s strategy, only then it wasn’t seen as “pathetic,” but rather reasonable, and the sole means for preventing the war that every US pundit and politician saw around the corner (The Hill, 8/9/15).

+Trump’s [latest antics](https://youtu.be/KfVdIKaQzW8) at the United Nations have spurred a wave of similar reaction across corporate media. Describing his threat to “totally destroy North Korea” at the UN General Assembly last year as “pointed and sharp,” **Fox News** anchor Eric Shawn ([9/23/18](https://video.foxnews.com/v/5838934710001/)) asked Bill Richardson, an Obama ally and President Bill Clinton’s ambassador to the UN, whether Trump would take the same approach toward Iran. “That aggressive policy we have with Iran is going to continue,” Richardson reassured the audience, “and I don’t think Iran is helping themselves.” In other words, if the United States starts a war with Iran, it’s totally Iran’s fault.
+
+**Politico** ([9/23/18](https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/23/trump-iran-war-foreign-policy-836411)), meanwhile, reported that Trump “is risking a potential war with Iran unless he engages the Islamist-led country using diplomacy.” In other words, if the United States starts a war with Iran, it’s totally Trump’s fault. Rice (**New York Times**, [9/26/18](https://nyti.ms/2N4AZjF)) reiterated her view that Trump’s rhetoric “presages the prospect of war in the Persian Gulf.” Whoever would be the responsible party is up for debate, but that war is in our future is apparently all but certain.
+
+**Politico**’s article cited a [statement](https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/coalitionagainstirannukes/Statement_Sept18.pdf) signed by such esteemed US experts on war-making as Madeleine Albright, who presided over Clinton’s [inhuman sanctions](https://nyti.ms/2tvy0MU) against Iraq in the ’90s, and Ryan Crocker, former ambassador for presidents George W. Bush and Obama to some of America’s favorite killing fields: Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria. James Clapper, Obama’s National Intelligence Director, who also signed the letter, played an [important role](https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/jun/4/likely-intel-chief-clapper-held-disputed-wmd-view/) in trumping up WMD evidence against Saddam Hussein before the United States invaded Iraq in 2003. When it comes to US aggression, they’re the experts.
+
+**Vanity Fair** ([9/26/18](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/09/john-bolton-iran-united-nations)) interviewed John Glaser of the Cato Institute, who called Trump’s strategy “pathetic,” and also warned that it forebodes war. In an effort to “one-up Obama,” Glaser explained, Trump’s plan is “to apply extreme economic pressure and explicit threats of war in order to get Iran to capitulate.” Sound familiar? As Glaser implies, this was [exactly Obama’s strategy](https://theintercept.com/2015/08/06/obama-summarizes-record/), only then it wasn’t seen as “pathetic,” but rather reasonable, and the sole means for preventing the war that every US pundit and politician saw around the corner (**The Hill**, [8/9/15](https://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/250683-sanders-war-the-alternative-if-iran-deal-fails)).
+
+When everyone decides that war is the only other possibility, it starts to look like an inevitability. But even when they aren’t overtly stoking war fever against Iran, corporate media prime the militaristic pump in more subtle yet equally disturbing ways.
+
+![](https://theantimedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/CNN-Netanyahu-610x343.jpg)Benjamin Netanyahu speaks for the Iranian people on **CNN** ([9/29/18](https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2018/09/29/labott-netanyahu-iran-regime-intv-sot-vpx.cnn)).First among these is the near-complete erasure of Iranian voices from US airwaves (**FAIR.org**, [7/24/15](https://fair.org/home/side-by-side-coverage-of-cuba-and-iran-highlights-shift-in-us-media-villain-making/)). Rather than ask Iranians directly, national outlets like **CNN** ([9/29/18](https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2018/09/29/labott-netanyahu-iran-regime-intv-sot-vpx.cnn)) prefer to invite the prime minister of Israel, [serial Iran alarmist](https://theintercept.com/2015/03/02/brief-history-netanyahu-crying-wolf-iranian-nuclear-bomb/) and regional pariah Benjamin Netanyahu, to speak for them. During a jovial discussion this weekend over whether regime change and/or economic collapse is Iran’s most likely fate, Netanyahu explained to the audience that, either way, “The ones who will be happiest if that happens are the people of Iran.” No people of Iran were on hand to confirm or deny this assessment.
+
+**Bloomberg** ([9/30/18](https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-09-30/what-s-not-to-like-about-trump-iran-oil-sanctions-100-oil)) similarly wanted to know, “What’s not to like about Trump’s Iran oil sanctions?” Julian Lee gleefully reported that “they are crippling exports from the Islamic Republic, at minimal cost to the US.” One might think the [toll sanctions take](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/08/iran-doctors-sanctions-endangering-patients-lives-180830064012071.html) on innocent Iranians would be something not to like, but **Bloomberg** merely worried that, notwithstanding the windfall for US refineries, “oil at $100 a barrel would be bad news for drivers everywhere—including those in the US.”
+
+Another prized tactic is to [whitewash Saudi Arabia](https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/03/05/the-1-5-billion-campaign-to-whitewash-genocide-in-yemen/), Iran’s chief geopolitical rival, whose genocidal destruction of Yemen is made possible by the United States, about which corporate media remain overwhelmingly silent (**FAIR.org**,[ 7/23/18](https://fair.org/home/action-alert-its-been-over-a-year-since-msnbc-has-mentioned-us-war-in-yemen/)). Iran’s involvement in Yemen, which both Trump and the **New York Times** ([9/12/18](https://nyti.ms/2MqieXJ)) describe as “malign behavior,” is a principal justification for US support of Saudi Arabia, including the[ US-supplied bombs](https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/17/middleeast/us-saudi-yemen-bus-strike-intl/index.html) that recently ended the brief lives of over 40 Yemeni schoolchildren. Lockheed Martin’s stock is [up 34 percent](https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/LMT/historical?siteid=mktw&date=01%2F20%2F2017)from Trump’s inauguration day.
+
+Corporate media go beyond a simple coverup of Saudi crimes to evangelize their leadership as the liberal antidote to Iran’s “theocracy.” Who can forget Thomas Friedman’s revolting puff piece for the Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman? Extensively quoting Salman (**New York Times**, [11/23/17](https://nyti.ms/2i0mwfg)), who refers to Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as “the new Hitler of the Middle East,” Friedman nevertheless remains pessimistic about whether “MBS and his team” can see their stand against Iran through, as “dysfunction and rivalries within the Sunni Arab world generally have prevented forming a unified front.” Oh well, every team needs cheerleaders, and Friedman isn’t just a fair-weather fan.
+
+While Friedman (**New York Times**, [5/15/18](https://nyti.ms/2GmBgLo)) believes that Trump has drawn “some needed attention to Iran’s bad behavior,” for him pivotal questions remain unanswered, such as “who is going to take over in Tehran if the current Islamic regime collapses?” One immediate fix he proposed was to censure Iran’s metaphorical “occupation” of Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. Isn’t this ironic coming from an unapologetic propagandist for Washington’s decades-long, non-metaphorical occupation of the two countries to the east and west of Iran (**FAIR.org**, [12/9/15](https://fair.org/home/friedman-goes-after-trump-hey-massive-bombing-was-my-idea/))?
+
+In a surprising break from corporate media convention, **USA Today** ([9/26/18](https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2018/09/26/iran-united-states-foreign-policy-iraq-war-column/1379872002/)) published a column on US/Iran relations written by an actual Iranian. Reflecting on the [CIA-orchestrated coup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat) against Iran’s elected government in 1953, Azadeh Shahshahani, who was born four days after the 1979 revolution there, wrote:
+
+> “I often wonder what would have happened if that coup had not worked, if \[Prime Minister\] Mosaddeq had been allowed to govern, if democracy had been allowed to flourish.”
+
+“It is time for the US government to stop intervening in Iran and let the Iranian people determine their own destiny,” she beseeched readers.
+
+![](https://theantimedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Real-News-Code-Pink-610x343.png)Code Pink’s Medea Benjamin confronts the head of Trump’s “Iran Action Group” (**Real News**, [9/21/18](https://youtu.be/peJGmeg6ZE8)).Shahshahani’s call is supported by some who have rejected corporate media’s war propaganda and have gone to extreme lengths to have their perspectives heard. Anti-war activist and Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin was recently forcibly removed after she upstaged Brian Hook, leader of Trump’s Iran Action Group, on live TV, calling his press conference “the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen” (**Real News**, [9/21/18](https://youtu.be/peJGmeg6ZE8)). Benjamin implored the audience: “Let’s talk about Saudi Arabia. Is that who our allies are?”
+
+“How dare you bring up the issue of Yemen,” admonished Benjamin as she was dragged from the room. “It’s the Saudi bombing that is killing most people in Yemen. So let’s get real. No more war! Peace with Iran!” Code Pink is [currently petitioning](https://www.codepink.org/dont_iraq_iran?utm_campaign=iran_national_sept25) the **New York Times** and **Washington Post** to stop propagandizing war.
+
+Sadly, no matter whom you ask in corporate media, be they spokespeople for “Trump’s America” or “the resistance,” peace remains an elusive choice in the US political imagination. And while the public was focused last week on Supreme Court nominee [Brett Kavanaugh’s ](https://youtu.be/7zVOkb3CdZ0)[perjurious testimony](https://www.currentaffairs.org/2018/09/how-we-know-kavanaugh-is-lying), the Senate finalized a[$674 billion “defense” budget](https://www.democracynow.org/2018/9/20/headlines/senate_passes_674_billion_military_spending_bill). Every single Democrat in the chamber voted in favor of the bill, [explicitly naming Iran](https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/6157/text) as persona non grata in the United States’[world-leading arms supply network](https://www.sipri.org/news/press-release/2018/asia-and-middle-east-lead-rising-trend-arms-imports-us-exports-grow-significantly-says-sipri), which has seen a 25 percent increase in exports since Obama took office in 2009.
+
+The US government’s imperial ambitions are perhaps its only truly bipartisan project—what the **New York Times** euphemistically refers to as “globalism.” Nowhere was this on fuller display than at the funeral for Republican Sen. John McCain (**FAIR.org**,[ 9/11/18](https://fair.org/home/maverick-media-use-mccain-funeral-to-shore-up-us-imperialism/)), where politicians of all stripes were tripping over themselves to produce the best accolades for a man who [infamously sang](https://youtu.be/o-zoPgv_nYg)“bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran” to the tune of a Beach Boys song.
+
+McCain’s bloodlust was nothing new. Nearly a hundred years ago, after the West’s imperial competition culminated in the most destructive war the world had ever seen, the brilliant American sociologist and anti-colonial author WEB Du Bois [wrote](https://www.gutenberg.org/files/15210/15210-h/15210-h.htm), “This is not Europe gone mad; this is not aberration nor insanity; this *is* Europe.”
+
+Iranian leaders have repeatedly said they do not want war with the US (**AP**, [9/27/18](https://apnews.com/1cb23ee1641041c5910595715f2ea334)), but US corporate media, despite frequently characterizing Trump as a “mad king” (**FAIR.org**, [6/13/18](https://fair.org/home/why-do-us-media-only-worry-about-one-authoritarians-nukes/)), continue to play an instrumental role in rationalizing a future war with Iran. Should such an intentional catastrophe come to pass, we can hardly say that this would be America gone mad; war is not aberration, it is always presented as the next sane choice. This *is* America.
