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.

Israel flattened Beirut in 1982. No Hamas. No Hezbollah. No October 7 to point to then. Just 17,000 dead Lebanese and Palestinian civilians. Even US president then Ronald Reagan, who armed Israel, called Begin furious after seeing a photo of a 7-month-old baby with its arms blown off and said “It is a holocaust”. They killed so many innocent people that the survivors had no choice but to pick up weapons. Then Israel had the audacity to keep using “Self-Defense” excuse every decade. Israel didn’t stumble into endless war. Israel built it. Brick by brick. Own it.

AUKUS: How The US Gets Our Money For NOTHING And Their Ships For FREE @RobbieBarwick at the public enquiry youtu.be/Uk41_-922lI?si=hRcz… via @YouTube

How on earth did we get here, despite zero evidence our government just point the finger at Ir@n - priming us to follow the US over a cliff, as if most of us are not consuming independent media

Never Forget The pro-Israel lobby pushed extremely hard for the Royal Commission - they knew that the findings would favour them. Everything else does. Expect @AlboMP govt to pass more draconnian laws to curtail criticism of Israel and freedom of speech. youtube.com/watch?v=ewgGmj68…

Congrats to @MaryKostakidis - it's no small irony that the foreign lobby group pursuing her in court for 'racism' props for Israel, which recently entrenched apartheid via Palestinian death penalty laws @ZionistFedAus should drop this case

We all already knew this.

#OpenGaza NOW!

Israel lobby on edge. Penny Wong to meet Flotilla assault victims at 4pm. Juliet Lamont's story: michaelwest.com.au/israeli-s…

Congratulations @MaryKostakidis for winning the Gary Webb award for press freedom!

Imagine the tiny brains & the dead hearts of those who think they can get away with setting up ANOTHER Epstein island with bunkers after being exposed & starting multiple wars, their insatiable greed & morally bankrupt ambitions should never be underestimated - these are the real monsters of our time

I've received over 50 threatening messages from Zionists because of the videos I posted documenting the brutal crimes committed by Israel in Gaza. I need your support and kind words to continue until my last breath 🇵🇸

Zionism equates to psychopathy

The UN got it right in 1975. And the 16 years of bullying and coercion by Israel and the USA to get this resolution repealed in 1991 does not change the fact of the matter.

People who say "Zionism is just the belief that Jews should have a homeland" are hilarious. Zionism isn't some abstraction; we can all see its material manifestations with our own eyes. We can all see that Zionism means genocide, apartheid, and nonstop wars and abuse. This isn't some kind of theoretical debate where we all get to have our own opinions about what Zionism is and what it entails. It's 2026, not 1890. The facts are in and the case is closed, kids. This is what Zionism is. This is the only Zionism in existence. What you see is what you get. And what you see is quantifiably one of the most evil things happening on our planet.

The other major obstacle is public opinion. After billions has been spent on manipulation the truth is mightier than their sword - saying that one does think of #VanunuMortechai youtube.com/shorts/w4cFP210m…

A VITAL question for the WORLD! The overwhelming amount of evidence that I§R∆EL attacked the US DELIBERATELY to blame Egypt and manipulate America into fighting for the Gre∆ter I§r∆el Proj€ct is being revealed - let's get this out. Let's look at ALL the 'alleged' false flag attacks - the evidence mounts up to be truck loads youtube.com/shorts/u50idGyeo…

Israel is deliberately poisoning water wells that Palestinian farmers depend on to survive in the occupied West Bank. This is an act of genocide.

This is John Shipton, sitting with longtime Peace activist @GraemeDunstan at a special exhibition in Sydney, on June 5th 2026, dedicated to the children of Minab, and other children whose lives have been brutally stolen by war and genocide. John is best known as the father of Julian Assange, who fought relentlessly for his son's freedom. Through the Assange Campaign, we got to know John Shipton. A quite Australian architect and builder, a father, a grandfather, an uncle and a brother. An anti-war activist who has become one of Australia's greatest political analysts. As @RobbieBarwick describes John, a profound philosophical, political figure. Many of you would be on John's FB friend list or were following his page. Unfortunately, FB has decided to disable John's FB page without review and without chance to reinstate. Please bear with us as we create a new page for John as a public figure. FB may censor truth tellers but they will never shut us up. We only grow louder. We do this for the children of the world. Life's greatest gift, the child. #Minab168 #StopTheWarOnChildren
