News that doesn't fit the narrative

The corporate press has certainly tries to establish their narrative concerning Iran, all the usual nonsense...the sanctions are hurting the Iranian economy,..the Iranian political system is about to implode. These might provide some comfort to Western policy makers, and their consumer audience but oftentimes the truth is diametrically opposed to received opinion.

The latest case in point this headline from the Russian news agency RIA Novosti, "Iranian sanctions at dead-end says Moscow" Clear, and self explanatory.

The article expands further, "The option of sanctions against Iran over its disputed nuclear program is exhausted and the issue should be solved by talks, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday.

“We consider the road of sanctions against Iran exhausted,” Lavrov said. “To threaten with sanctions and moreover with air strikes is to exclude the possibility of a negotiated solution.”

“Isolation or confrontation has no chance of success with regard to Iran,” Lavrov went on, adding that Russia was working actively with Iran
. ""

But are you going to watch,read or hear this anywhere in Western corporate media? No, you aren't.
