Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, May 22, 2026

The unconstitutional US war against the people of Iran on behalf of Israel has not only killed at least 3,636 people, but has become an environmental disaster in the Middle East, as well as an economic catastrophe for the West. The unlawful aggression has produced emissions equivalent to a year of Iceland's carbon output-- more than 5m tons of CO2 generated in just the first two weeks of the war-- and the IMF warns that a recession will soon engulf Europe if US and Israeli hostilities against Iran continues.

Since Oct 2023, the peace loving, hardworking American taxpayer has sent at least $21.7 billion in military aid to Israel, which covers the $11.5bn cost of Benjamin Netanyahu's attack against the people, economy, infrastructure, and environment of Iran.

Greenpeace warns the barbaric US and Israeli onslaught will leave a toxic legacy in Iran, damaging the systems that make life possible, including water networks, sewage plants, farmland, ports, fuel depots, and electricity infrastructure, leaving polluted air, contaminated soil, and unsafe water long after their offensive ends.
