History you aren’t taught: The coup against Iran’s Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh by the CIA and MI6 in 1953
Mosaddegh had pursued nationalist policies and was widely-popular, having nationalised Iran’s oil to stop British exploitation of Iran’s natural resources. Winston Churchill considered Iranian oil to be Britain’s.
Contrary to the US’ and UK’s claims to promote democracy and freedom around the world, the US and UK backed The Shah of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to overthrow Mossadegh and return Iran to authoritarianism, while being a compliant leader that followed Washington’s and London’s orders.
After the coup, Iran’s oil was once again privatised and divided up among the UK, US, and some European countries through a new oil consortium in 1954. 40% of the shares went to the British oil company BP. 5 American oil companies had significant stakes in the consortium.
The dictatorship of Pahlavi, enforced by the ruthless SAVAK, for Western oil companies to steal Iran’s oil, triggered such anger among the Iranian population that it led to the revolution in 1979, which gave birth to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The roots of the war on Iran today are the MI6’s and CIA’s attack on Iranian democracy in 1953…but the US and Israel claim to be perpetrating this destabilising and disastrous war to advance democracy and ‘freedom’.
History shows they are lying.
Trump was trapped by slaughtering Khamenei during Ramadan in his own home.
This is the victory he got through this heinous act: Iranians are united against the US!... What else was he expecting?...
@PulaRJS@markcurtis30 40 (imaginary) dead babies filled every headline in the West on 8 October 2023, but 127 (real - alive yesterday) dead schoolgirls won’t rate even one Western headline today.
Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.
Over 60 children slaughtered by the US 🇺🇸 Israeli 🇮🇱 bombing of the 'Minab' girls' school in Iran 🇮🇷

In every world the USA 🇺🇸 & Israel 🇮🇱 are rogue states inflicting terror
In every world Trump & Netanyahu belong in The Hague.
Imagine if Iran bombed Washington and killed students in schools, what would you call it? Terrorists
The U.S. and Israel bombed Tehran and killed students in schools. Why do you call it a "pre-emptive strike"?
Bombing a school is a war crime under international humanitarian law

Oil sometimes seems more like a curse than a natural resource. USA has destabilized countries one by one—such as Iraq, Libya, and Venezuela—and now it appears to be targeting Iran.Venezuelan didn't protest against Maduro, so USA kidnapped him.#Oil#NATO#madurocaptured#Iran
When Mamdani became mayor, all the journalists who had been criticizing CM KPK S.Afridi for being young and inexperienced suddenly began praising Mamdani. This is why journalism has sunk to such a low level.

Two old men call each other war heroes while killing children aged 1 to 5 in Gaza. One supplies the weapons and U.S. tax money, while the other executes them.

Unfair decisions by Pakistani courts — favouring those who held press conferences while punishing those who did not — are eroding the justice system day by day, leaving us with no hope. #RIPJudiciary#Faisalabad
There is no honour in honour killing. All killers must be punished and made an example for others. Moreover, landlords and sardars who encourage or support such traditions must also be brought under the law. #Paksitan#��یتل_کو_انصاف_دو
