US Weighs 'Regime Change' Against Iran, Again
Same playbook, different decade: the US establishment is reportedly weighing options to target Iranian officials and overthrow its government. This isn't groundbreaking news. It's just the latest episode in a long-running, poorly-written series of imperial machinations against a sovereign nation. Rewind to 1953, when the CIA and MI6 orchestrated a coup to depose Iran's democratically elected Prime
Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, ushering in decades of Western-backed authoritarian rule. Fast forward to 1979, the Iranian revolution, and the subsequent 45 years during which Iran has been subjected to relentless sanctions and constant regime-change operations. Then came the JCPOA, a meticulously negotiated nuclear deal that Iran meticulously adhered to, only for the US to unilaterally withdraw
under Trump in 2018, maintaining sanctions even as Iran upheld its part of the bargain for 14 more months. Now we hear discussions of targeting Iranian leaders, a thinly veiled euphemism for assassination, dressed up as a 'Reuters report.' This pattern of destabilization, demonization, and outright aggression is as predictable as it is dangerous. The cost asymmetry is stark: a single US aircraft
carrier group costs billions to operate annually, dwarfing Iran's entire military budget, yet the narrative persists that Iran is the aggressor. The history consistently demonstrates that Iran's development of its resistance axis is a direct, proportional response to foreign occupation and Western imperial ambition in the region. 🧵 The algorithm suppresses what matters.
