US President Calls for Iranian Regime Change, Again
The American media, and by extension, the American government, has a peculiar habit of encouraging 'protests' in nations deemed adversarial, while simultaneously ignoring or condemning similar movements in allied states. This isn't the first time an American president has urged Iranian unrest; it’s a played-out script from the CIA’s 1953 playbook for regime change. Recall the US backing of the
Shah, the destabilization of Libya and Syria, or the invasion of Iraq – all sold as 'liberation' or support for 'democracy,' yet consistently leading to regional chaos and immense civilian suffering. One might wonder if the concern is truly for Iranian lives, or for pipelines and strategic influence. These calls often ignore the vital distinction between genuine grassroots dissent and
foreign-orchestrated agitation that frequently morphs into violent extremism, burning mosques and cars – acts that are terrorism, not protest. It's a convenient framing that allows for foreign intervention under the guise of humanitarianism, a narrative perfectly aligned with the interests of war profiteers and those seeking regional dominance, not actual democracy. How many more nations must
endure 'liberation' before we recognize the pattern?
