This is inaccurate. The current Iranian government is a result of a 'revolution' against the installed US dictator.
So yes, the current situation is a result of the initial CIA coup in the 50s, but the '79 revolution is in response to US aggression and is not a direct product of CIA intervention.

I am still trying to comprehend how the fuck so many people here on VOAT think that Iran is a "good guy" just because theyre anti-Israel ?
In truth , when was the last time Iran DIRECTLY attacked Israel or Israeli assets in the region ? They always used proxy forces ( Hezbollah ) .
Considering Iran is definitely NOT like it was just several decades ago , but a country fueled by Islamic sectarianism and more hardline Islamic country ( altough , less than some Sunni examples ) , then how the heck can it be a "good guy" ?
Of course that it is CIA creation , ever since overthrowing Mosaddegh , it went into down spiral ...

You're absolutely right, by chaos on the doorstep of the C_A and the DS is something that we could always use a lot more of. The more they make moves, the more we anticipate those moves and counterattack faster. They're now stranded on a sinking ship, trying desperately to bail the water out while the water is coming in too fast.
Ok well drop Israel and we drop the Iran problem. That means the CIA is heavily or completely tethered to Israel.

Isn't Jimmy Carter the birthplace of Iran's restoration to the 'Persian Kingdom'?

So why is john Bolton congratulating the attack?
[–] alphazebra 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
Because neocons like any attack that signals conflict. Means the military-industrial complex companies they are part of make more money. Hopefully this attack was surgical and serves to stop more fighting rather than prolong it.

Bolton's a retard who jumps up and yells like Yosemite Sam whenever a bomb or gun goes off so he can rush "aid" to the battle, by which I mean profit off of war.

Because they hope this will start a war.
