US 'Intervention': Where 'Freedom' Meets 'Resource Extraction'
The Independent highlights Iran's foreign minister branding Trump's threat of US intervention over protests as 'reckless.' Conveniently omitted from this narrative is the decades-long pattern of US 'interventions' in sovereign nations, often culminating in regime change or destabilization for geopolitical gain. History recalls the 1953 US-backed coup against Iran's democratically elected Prime
Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, following his move to nationalize oil. Today's 'concern' for Iranian protesters, while laudable on its face, appears selective, given similar struggles in allied nations often meet silence. One might wonder if Trump's 'recklessness' is truly the issue, or if it's the uncomfortable reminder of a playbook Washington has run too many times before.
