THE LONG TORTURED HISTORY OF THE EMPIRE OF IRAN

 
By Tammy Bright

> 70 years ago, Iran looked just like any Western country.
> Short skirts, rock’n’roll, open universities.

> It’s 1953. Iran elects a secular socialist: Mohammad Mossadegh.
> He nationalizes oil. That pisses off British Petroleum.
> Cold War excuse.
> CIA and MI6 stage a coup. Operation Ajax.
> Mossadegh is overthrown.

> They install the Shah, a brutal US-backed dictator.
> Secret police. Torture chambers.
> Iran turns into a puppet state.
> People are that desperate, they turn to Khomeini, an exiled cleric, promising independence and dignity.
> 1979: Islamic Revolution.
> The Shah flees.

> US embassy stormed. Hostage crisis.
> America never forgives.
> Arms Saddam Hussein.
> Iraq invades Iran.
> US provides chemical weapons, satellite intel, logistics.
> 1 million Iranians die.
> Iranian kids sent into minefields with plastic keys around their necks.
> US shoots down Iran Air Flight 655
> 290 civilians dead.

> No apology.
> Fast forward today, Israel attacks Iran.
> The U.S. immediately says “we stand with Israel.”
> They talk about “regime change.”
> They say that Iranians “deserve freedom.”

> No mention of the coup they started.
> No mention of the dictator they installed.
> No mention of the war they fueled.
> No mention of the decades of sanctions and sabotage.

> They created the monster, and now they attacked it because it was still breathing.
> Watch who they try to put on the throne next.
> The son of the Shah is already being presented as the “alternative.”
> The same dynasty.
> The same foreign backing.
>The same promises of stability.

> History will repeats itself.
> And it’s not gonna end well.

Retired French General Michel Yakovleff has voiced strong opposition to France joining U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed Strait of Hormuz coalition.

Yakovleff likened participation to buying a discounted ticket on the Titanic, suggesting it would amount to supporting a failing strategy. He warned that such a move would be ill-timed and misguided.

“This is no time to be buying a promotional ticket for the Titanic,” he said, adding that it would be like a captain offering cheap tickets to a dinner dance after the ship had already struck an iceberg.

Wish UTRGV would alternate games between Edinburg and Brownsville to give Brownsville a chance to watch UTRGV baseball.
