โIran ๐ฎ๐ท is a threat to U.S. ๐บ๐ธ National Security.โ๐
Really?
Letโs break that down
1953: The U.S. overthrew Iranโs democratically elected government to control its oil. We installed a monarchโthe Shahโwho ruled brutally, backed by CIA-run secret police (SAVAK) that tortured and disappeared dissenters. โฏ
1979: Iranian people finally rose up and overthrew the Shah. In the chaos, angry students took American embassy staff hostageโan illegal act, but notably, not a single hostage was killed. โฏ
1980s: The U.S. supported Saddam Hussein as he invaded Iran and used chemical weapons to wipe out entire Iranian villages. A million Iranians were killed. The chemical materials were shipped from the U.S. and the funding came via the CIA. โฏ
1988: The U.S. shot down Iran Air Flight 655, a civilian passenger plane, killing 290 innocent people, including 66 children. The flight had just taken off from Tehran and was flying in Iranian airspace. The U.S. never apologized for what it later claimed was โa mistake.โ No one was held accountable. In fact, the shipโs captain received a medal the following year for his service. โฏ
1990s: After that came crippling sanctions and covert operations to sabotage Iranโs economy, scientists, and sovereigntyโtactics that continue to this day. 2003โ
2011: The U.S. topples Saddam. A million Iraqis are killed. Post-Saddam Iraqi leaders and militias resisting the U.S. occupation build close ties with Iran.
2010โ2012: 6 Iranian nuclear scientists are assassinated, widely attributed to Israelโs Mossad, often with U.S. knowledge or coordination. โฏ
2015: Iran signed the JCPOA nuclear dealโagreeing to international inspections and limits on uranium enrichment. The UN confirmed Iran complied. โฏ
2018: Trump unilaterally withdrew from the deal. Iran is punished despite playing by the rules. Sanctions returnโharsher than ever.
2019: Iran announces it will enrich uranium beyond the limit set in the deal, not to build a weapon, but to gain leverage for relief from the crippling sanctions devastating its economy.
2020: The U.S. assassinated Qassem Soleimani, Iranโs top general, in a drone strike on Iraqi soil. He wasnโt launching an attack, but was on a diplomatic mission, carrying Iranโs response to a peace offer from Saudi Arabia, according to Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi.
2023โ2025: Iranโs allies (Houthis, Hezbollah, PMFs) begin resisting Israeli regional aggression, especially in response to its genocide in Gaza.
2025: ๐จ Trump bombs Iran following persistent lobbying from Israel. No Congressional approval. No evidence of an imminent threat. No regard for ongoing diplomatic talks.
Meanwhile:
๐ U.S. military bases surround Iranโin every neighboring country. ๐ฎ๐ท Iran has none outside the region.
๐ก๏ธ Iran has consistently fought ISIS and al-Qaedaโyet is still branded โthe worldโs top sponsor of terror.โ
We need to be honest with ourselves: We have wronged Iran. We have wronged the Iranian people. Not just onceโbut over and over again.
We invaded. We toppled. We assassinated. We bombed. And yet we call them the threat?
