A US creation now targeted

March 31, 2026

It should never be forgotten that the government now in Iran that Trump seems so frivolously to wish to change is a direct result of US actions to overturn the first democratically elected government in Iranian history. The US and its ailing satrap the UK overturned the government of Mossadegh in 1953 and imposed their selection on the Iranian people.

That selection turned out to be one of the most vicious and violent regimes in the world at the time with its infamous SAVAK secret police who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent Iranians. Indeed so bad was it that the Theocratic government that has ruled since the 1979 revolution against that Pahlavi dictatorship was seen as by far preferable by the Iranian people.

Whatever we or anyone else outside Iran may think of it, it is a creature of the Iranian people forced upon them by the US and UK as their way of continuing to steal the Iranian peoples oil.

If we are to successfully deal with current events it is vital that we understand their context and who brought those events about. Part of that learning has to be leave the governance of Iran to the Iranians!
