Iran's Army Pledges Defense After US Backs Protesters: Déjà Vu, Anyone?
Iran's army states it will defend national interests after the US 'backs' protesters, a headline that conveniently sidesteps decades of documented US-led regime change operations. (One might wonder if any nation would be thrilled about foreign interference.) This isn't just about 'backing'; the intelligence community has a storied history of funding, training, and equipping opposition groups,
often escalating into full-blown resistance against imperialisms, as seen in Syria and Libya. The mainstream media rarely connects these dots, instead preferring to present each 'protest' as a spontaneous, organic uprising. We saw this exact script in 1953 when the CIA orchestrated a coup against democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, installing the Shah and paving the way for
Iran's 1979 revolution. Fast forward, and the playbook remains startlingly similar: economic sanctions, covert operations, and diplomatic 'support' for internal dissent. Is it truly 'defending national interests' when a nation reacts to what looks suspiciously like a replay of historical foreign intervention? Or is it simply a nation tired of being a geopolitical chessboard?
