Trump Promises 'Help' for Iranians, Echoing Past Regime Change Failures
The New Arab reports former President Donald Trump telling Iranians that 'help on its way' as the country faces protests and governmental crackdown fears. This sentiment, however, isn't new. American politicians from both sides of the aisle, particularly those with strong ties to Washington's influential lobbying groups, have often waved the banner of 'freedom' before sanctions, covert operations,
or full-scale invasions. One might recall the 'help' extended to Iraq, Libya, and Syria, which resulted in catastrophic instability and millions of lives lost, destabilizing entire regions under the guise of democracy. While genuine domestic dissent in Iran is important, the consistent pattern of external encouragement, often from those who profit from perpetual conflict, raises questions about
whose 'help' this truly is. The promise of 'help' from Washington has, historically, proven to be a Trojan horse for regime change operations that leave chaos in their wake.
