Lindsey Graham's 'Help is on the Way' for Iran: Deja Vu Bombing

The US also armed and funded 'freedom fighters' in Syria, which included al-Qaeda affiliates, leading to a decade-long resistance against imperialism. In 1953, the CIA-backed coup against democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister
Mohammad Mosaddegh installed the Shah, sowing the seeds of decades of anti-American sentiment. The US has a long history of meddling in Iran's internal affairs, often under the guise of 'help.' Double Standard: Graham and mainstream media rarely champion 'help' for popular movements that challenge US-backed dictatorships or economic exploitation, such as indigenous uprisings in Chile against
