[This is Part 3 of the series “Iran’s Century and a Half Fight for Sovereignty”. Part 1 is a historical overview of Iran’s long struggle with Britain’s control over Iranian oil and the SIS-CIA overthrow of Iran’s Nationalist leader Mosaddegh in 1953.
Completely agree. Iran has been endlessly harried and vilified by the British and the US. It's appalling how they have interfered with peaceful countries around the world to the extent that international travel is a literal and figurative land mine. This further limits Americans travel to different cultures, which would reduce the ability of the censorship-military industrial complex to whip the population into a fearful frenzy, which is willing to bomb and/or sanction anyone 'back to the Stone Age'.
This applies even to countries who try to fight back in even the smallest way, such as simply not doing business with the rapacious mining and oil companies that prey upon South America, the Middle East and Africa, or on indigenous Australians with the help of 'their' own government.
These companies accomplish this with the help of the CIA and military in actioning coups against democratically elected governments, who are then replaced, either militarily or in a 'supervised' election, with or without a concurrent media blitz to amp up nationalist/fascist movements. A great example is Eva Morales, who was ousted in a military coup in 2019. https://www.latinorebels.com/2019/11/12/yestherewasacoup/
Another good example is Bolsinaro, who was basically installed in Brazil, after Lula was erroneously found guilty of widespread corruption in a falsified 'investigation', called Operation CarWash, funded by CIA cutout USAID.
Glenn Greenwald has covered the Lula-Bolsinaro debacle extensively, as has Aaron Maté covered the failed coup of Assad, which included the faked chemical weapons attack, uncovered by OPCW whistleblowers, in Syria. Maté has been targeted for censorship by the FBI his similar coverage of Ukraine, both the Maidan coup in 2014, the ensuing increase in corruption of that country and ongoing hypocrisy in Biden's policy toward the proxy war there.
These wars and sanctions have nothing to do with sovereignty, democracy or freedom. They are about mineral resources, for which the neocon/neoliberal cabal does not want to pay open market prices.
I guess Human rights issues, Inflation ( £1 Sterling = 65,000 Tomans ), Oppression of other religions & Starving families etc etc are not really important as long as the Rhetoric is the BEAUTIFUL conversation amongst civilisations! ... there is so much... Hardcore Toodeh members ( the wanna be communists of late 60'0 70.s ) Now admit Mosssadegh was a useless politician & the entire communist movement was a total waste of youth & energy in Iran. Alas, the still pro left, dont see what Iran was Before Reza Shah / Mohammad reza , During the Pahlavi resign , & Post Revolution.... It's an uninformed & subjective bias.
What an ugly and ignorant answer which does not account for what Iran is actually working towards today which is that very thing, prosperity and stability in the Middle East with the recent great diplomatic success of a partnership with Saudi Arabia, China, Russia and Iran with a so far successful ceasefire in Yemen. It is western imperialism that has fueled chaos and instability in the Middle East, notably with Sykes-Picot and the British Mandate of Palestine and the funding, support and even creation of Islamic terrorism notably in Wahhabism and the Muslim Brotherhood and later the Mujahideen. It is Anglo-America who illegally bombed and invaded Libya and dispersed its war chest (the largest in Africa) to terrorists to fight in Syria against the Syrian people and paint it as a freedom movement. As Anglo-America continues to lose its foothold in the Middle East we see very clearly what truly lies behind the most violent chaos and with their exit how quickly nations will actually choose to align themselves with peaceful relations because they understand this is a benefit to all. People like you who spit on words such as PEACE and scoff at the proposal of a DIALOGUE OF CIVILIZATIONS, that does not make you a realist but complicit to the terror that has been sown in these parts funded and fueled by the Anglo-American empire today. You are blind to the fact that that very thing is happening in the Middle East today before your very eyes.
