I am old enough to remember a Republican president helped overthrow the Iranian democratically elected government. Then they made a fatal mistake… they nationalized the oil!!!!!
The British and the American oil companies went crying to their governments and the US obliged the oil companies the CIA staged a coup and put the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi into power. The Republican president’s excuse was they are turning to the Soviets! He turned out to be a petty dictator… but that was okay because he was our tyrant.
We actually helped Iran to learn to enrich Uranium in the late 50s and early 60s!
The people said “We had enough of this crap and staged a revolution in 1979! And overthrew the Shah.
Then in 2015 the US along with Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) – 2015
After years of negotiations between Iran and the U.S., UK, France, Russia, China and Germany signed the JCPOA in 2015. In the agreement Iran would limit uranium enrichment, reduce centrifuges, and allow strict IAEA inspections in return we and all the other countries unfroze their bank accounts which amounted to around tens of billions of dollars in Iranian assets that ws held in foreign banks. Contrary to the MAGA lies we did not give money to the Iranians! The treaty was working and Iran stopped making bomb grade uranium and allowed inspections.
But Trump torn up the treaty saying he could do better.
And now some 6 years after the treaty was voided by Trump we are at war!
