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!

[Kerry Burgess @KerryBurgess]

Wisdom beyond her years. This girl is 100% right. The kids are not stupid, it bodes well for the future...

[John Urane @UraneJohn]

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!

[TruthNotWar @TruthNotWars]

@AusElectoralCom this is surely illegal and completely immoral to prey on voters good intentions like this?

[Dr Rhonda Garad Difficult by Design @RhondaGarad]

An update on ex-IDF Avi Yemeni and co's fake party registrations to harvest votes for One Nation at the Victorian state election. Democracy is just a game to them.

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

[TruthNotWar @TruthNotWars]

@JulianAssangePD what are you? AI rage baiter or a human rage baiter or just simply sowing the seeds of division for the greater Israel project?

[TruthNotWar @TruthNotWars]

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?

This is the most comprehensive reporting on the Minab school bombings that we have encountered so far, not for the faint of heart but an absolutely necessary read for the nations people who are under a soft occupation by the US and Isr@el

Please @ScreenAustralia and
@ScreenNSW @wearevicscreen please check out @RealScottRitter article - it's written like a screenplay - lets put some energy into creating films that generate real change and educate people into advocating for peace!

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.

#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.

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.

Nice of them to make Australia a forward base for US war on China with nary so much as a parliamentary debate or official inquiry
