> Isn't it a weird coincidence that soon after the US and Israel started an unprovoked and unnecessary war (that billionaires will profit handsomely from, as an aside) that we get stories like this to manufacture consent?

Manufacture consent for what? Starting a war with Iran? The US already did that, and didn't need any sort of consent.

If anything, this sort of story is more likely to manufacture opposition to the war, because folks already think the war is stupid, pointless, and never should have happened, and now they're suffering more for it.

Boots on the ground? Nukes? Internment camps? It can go much further.

Yeah, but the current administration making their own people's lives worse by starting a war and inviting attacks such as this one, wouldn't manufacture any consent for those things.

If anything, it would manufacture opposition. The US general public blames the administration for any negative consequences resulting from the administration's war of choice: Attacks, high energy prices, further loss of US credibility, etc.
