1/2 🧵WHAT HAVE WE DONE #IRAN This chronological list illustrates how relentlessly vicious the west has been for so long, and how arrogantly hypocritical Trumps recent (April 2026) global announcement bragging of bombing Persia "back to the stone age, where they belong" is just so incredibly humiliating and enraging for so many reasons. Modern history of American intervention in Iran can largely be defined by the 1953 coup, decades of support for the Shah, and subsequent efforts to isolate the Islamic Republic through everything from economic sanctions to direct military action.   Pre-Revolution & The Coup  • 1953 – CIA-Backed Coup (Operation Ajax): The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and British intelligence orchestrated the overthrow of democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh after he nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.  • 1953-1979 – Support for the Shah: Following the coup, the U.S. reinstalled Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, turning him into a key regional ally in the mid-east and supporting his authoritarian rule with comprehensive western military aid and intelligence training. • 1957 – SAVAK Creation: The U.S. and Israel helped establish SAVAK, the Shah’s intelligence agency. SAVAK was later implicated in the torture and suppression of political dissidents. • 1957 – Atoms for Peace: The U.S. signed a nuclear agreement with the Shah, *providing Iran with a nuclear reactor and fuel* initiating the collaboration that later became a massive point of contention.   The 1979 Revolution & Hostage Crisis  • 1979 – Iranian Revolution: Following the overthrow of the Shah, Ayatollah Khomeini took power, turning Iran into a theocratic republic and after such brazenly overt western meddling for so many years thereby designated the U.S. as the "Great Satan".  • 1979-1981 – Iran Hostage Crisis: Iranian students stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage for 444 days in protest of U.S. support for the exiled Shah.  • 1980 – Operation Eagle Claw: A failed U.S. military mission to rescue the hostages resulted in the death of eight U.S. service members. Proxy Wars & Escalation (1980s-1990s)  • 1980-1988 – Iran-Iraq War: The U.S. backed Iraq under Saddam Hussein, providing intelligence, economic aid, and dual-use technology to Iraq during its invasion of Iran.  • 1985-1987 – Iran-Contra Affair: During this same time the Reagan administration also secretly sold weapons to Iran to secure the release of American hostages in Lebanon, using the profits to illegally fund Contra rebels in Nicaragua.  • 1988 – Operation Praying Mantis: The U.S. Navy attacked Iranian oil platforms and ships in the Persian Gulf after an American ship struck an Iranian mine.  • 1988 – Downing of Iran Air 655: The USS Vincennes shot down an Iranian civilian airliner, killing all 290 passengers; the U.S. claimed it was a mistake.  • 1995 – Total Embargo: The Clinton administration imposed a total trade and oil embargo on Iran, accusing it of sponsoring terrorism.  Nuclear Disputes & Direct Conflict (2000s-2026)  • 2002 – "Axis of Evil": President George W. Bush labeled Iran part of an "axis of evil," escalating tensions over Iran’s nuclear program.  • 2015 – Nuclear Deal (JCPOA): The Obama administration signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), lifting sanctions in exchange for openly agreed limits on Iran's nuclear program.  • 2018 – Withdrawal from JCPOA: President Trump tore up the U.S. instigated JCPOA nuclear deal and implemented a "Maximum Pressure" campaign, restoring original strict economic sanctions.  • 2019 – IRGC Designation: The U.S. formally designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Well said! Our youth are educating themselves and in turn educating everyone. If anyone is still sitting at the kitchen table in Australia with their grandparents watching the 9 news they're getting a whole different story. Shame on our MSM!
Wisdom beyond her years. This girl is 100% right. The kids are not stupid, it bodes well for the future...

This pair represent a significant and real threat to Australia's sovereignty and Middle East peace as they push their zionist agenda. They represent a minority bunch of genocidal rabble who constantly medal in & influence Australia's political leaders. A cancer on our society!

Don't believe the Western Zionist propaganda. Iranians are not the enemy.

The question is how on earth can you say NO to a child begging for their life? The monsters of the world have been revealed, so what are you going to do about it?

LOOK AT THESE GORGEOUS HAPPY CHILDREN'S DRAWINGS! No ... really look at these - Because these are the happy little drawings of little people, the little people who were murdered by the US. When we say this, we say this knowing there were cameras on the Tomahawk missiles sending live footage back to base. They double tapped (many say triple tapped!) a children's school - clearly marked with colouful paintings all over the wall that encapsulated their little children's oasis! Let that land. substack.com/@realscottritte… #Minab168 THIS Horror will never ever be forgotten - and we stand with the Benevolent Iranian women Association as they campaign for a full and independent investigation into this series of catastrophic war crimes that mark the beginning of a so called super power's invasion of a sovereign nation. This is the dear, dear cost of a nation that is standing strong against the Jen0Cide of P@lestine and Leb@non We are deeply complicit as a nation when Anthony Albanese disappointingly declared with a complete lack of evidence that Ir@n is a threat to Australia to justify our complicity. Many independent journalists are revealing that Australian soldiers were on the front line as war crimes and the illegal invasion of Iran was unfolding along with the myriad of support we provide to the US. Please follow Nick Hanna for his investigations that completely debunk the propaganda. @Melbourne4Wiki @Aus4Assange @timand2037

Do watch @MaxBlumenthal in Ir@n visiting one of the largest jewish communities in the middle east or as we should say Asia's west - it smashes the vilification narrative that's being pumped out.
More false flags coming.

Oh Stop it @JoshFrydenberg no one's buying the lies youtu.be/8MoE0YIhn24 well those who are not consuming msm anyway. Most of us know it makes ZERO sense that the attacks Ir@n has been accused of organising in Australia has ZERO EVIDENCE to back up the outlandish accusation. This attack looks EXACTLY like a false flag and it was targeting the most anti Isr@eli state and pro paly synagogue in Australia. More importantly it is carrying the weight of our support in the invasion of Ir@n by the US and Isr@el. Pretty convenient wouldn't you say? Propaganda targets the ill - informed. As @JulianAssange has so often stressed - educate your self and act. After all we're in the biggest independent media evolution in history, so how long are you going to flog this dead horse?
They’re eating the cats and dogs!

Hey @edsheeran: This is how it’s done. If you think there are “two sides” to genocide then it means you are on the wrong side. Solidarity to Dave Matthews Band and everyone who is unafraid to use their platform to stand with the Palestinian people.

💢🇵🇸 Another Palestinian Child Dies Due to Israel’s Deliberately Imposed Hunger Crisis in Gaza Palestinian girl Maha Bashir has died from severe malnutrition on Tuesday, Palestinian media report, as Israel continues to deliberately restrict food and other necessities entering Gaza. The United States and President Trump, who leads the Board of Peace, has enabled the deprivation with weapons, funding, and diplomatic protection as Israel manufactures a starvation crisis by blocking sufficient food trucks from entering Gaza. Journalist Osama al-Kahlout documented a loved one cradling Maha’s almost weightless body. Starvation had consumed nearly all the flesh from her frame. Her ribs, spine and pelvis pushed sharply through her skin, while her arms and legs had wasted to little more than bone. Since the ceasefire began, Israel has allowed in only 35.3% of the minimum agreed aid deliveries, averaging 211.8 trucks daily against the required 600, a document shared by Palestinian authorities with mediators on Sunday shows. Palestinian negotiators said Israel also supplies mediators with misleading figures while refusing independent international monitoring of humanitarian aid. Famine was confirmed in Gaza City in August 2025, and while the hunger crisis has eased from last year, it remains severe. The IPC warns that 74,200 children could require treatment for acute malnutrition through April 2027, including more than 11,400 severe cases. Without sustained aid, nearly 1.9 million Palestinians could face acute food insecurity by December. Gaza’s Health Ministry had already recorded at least 420 hunger-related deaths, including 145 children, since October 2023.
