US Ponders Iran 'Regime Change': Deja Vu, Minus the WMDs
The RT article, which itself echoes a familiar concern about 'external actors,' highlights a classic conundrum: internal frustrations in Iran sparking protests. What they, and particularly Western outlets, often omit is the extensive, well-documented history of the US interfering in Iranian affairs, from the 1953 coup to funding opposition groups. This isn't about legitimate grievances being
heard; it’s about weaponizing them for geopolitical gain, a strategy honed in Iraq, Libya, and Syria. We saw this act before in Iraq, based on phantom WMDs (remember Colin Powell at the UN?). Then came Libya, where Hillary Clinton infamously cackled at Gaddafi's demise, leaving a power vacuum and a humanitarian disaster. The endless calls for 'regime change' in Iran sound less like concern for
human rights and more like a desperate attempt to shore up regional proxies and control oil revenues. One might wonder, what's a few hundred thousand lives when there's a new pipeline route or military base on the line?
