#Iran -- It goes back to us + the Brits assassinating their democratically elected Prime Minister #Mosaddegh in the 1960s. We created this + we continue w/ imperialist maneuvers.
And this time it's also a distraction. Remember, #TrumpIsAPedo.
In response to this reclamation of Iranian sovereignty Britain imposed an embargo on Iran’s oil, while at the same time plotting a coup to overthrow #Mosaddegh - a plot that was eventually implemented by the CIA.

Did you know the democratically elected leader of Iran, Mohammad Mosaddegh, was at the center of a major geopolitical play? #history #cronologia #IranianHistory #Mosaddegh
How can you possibly have a discussion about the history of Iran and leave out the 1953 overthrow of Iran’s democratically elected prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh by the US? Congratulations Fresh Air for sanitizing history!

From #Mosaddegh through #TheGulfWar through to today, it is clear that we are incapable of learning anything.
Even in the “best” of times, our #MiddleEast policy is a shambles. Since #Oct7 it has been an absolute shitshow. And it is about to get worse.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1953, the CIA concluded #OperationAjax, a few days of intensive effort in #Iran to overthrow the elected government of #Mosaddegh and replace it with a violent absolute monarchy. The US spent the next 25 years propping it up with weapons & SAVAK torturers.
