Why Iran ???

A terrorist attack on a military parade targeting civilians and military personnel alike left at least 29 dead and up to 70 more wounded in Iran's southwest region of Ahvaz.

At the same time, in New York City, US political figures including US President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudolph Giuliani attended and expressed open support for "revolution" in Iran at the 2018 Iran Uprising Summit organized by Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK).

MEK is a terrorist organization that has previously killed US service members and civilian contractors, but was removed from the US State Department's Foreign Terrorist Organizations list in order for the US to more openly and directly support the terrorist front's efforts to destabilize and overthrow the Iranian government.

If I were living in Iran, I would be tempted to call America "the Great Satan". From an Iranian perspective, such a description probably makes perfect sense.

Why is it that the US says "we don't negotiate with terrorists" when such a claim is clearly a lie? The evidence shows that many terrorist groups are in the employ of Uncle Sam. In certain cases, they seem to be our weapon of choice.

Our penchant for overthrowing foreign governments after World War Two gained momentum with the Truman Doctrine:

With the Truman Doctrine, President Harry S. Truman established that the United States would provide political, military and economic assistance to all democratic nations under threat from external or internal authoritarian forces. The Truman Doctrine effectively reoriented U.S. foreign policy, away from its usual stance of withdrawal from regional conflicts not directly involving the United States, to one of possible intervention in far away conflicts.

Its misapplication in Iran shows how hollow that doctrine was (and is).

In my lifetime Iran has been threatened by at least two internal authoritarian forces - the Shah, and the ayatollahs. We heartily supported the one, but violently detest the other. Why? Apparently because any time "democracy" breaks out somewhere, the locals decide they don't want the US to plunder their country. Such a desire is then labelled 'communism', 'terrorism', or some other such nonsense by the US, giving Uncle Sam a pretext to wage undeclared war on such a rebellious people and to eventually install an authoritarian regime which will serve as a US puppet.

Why Iran? They want to be independent, and they stand in the way of US hegemony. Have we ever needed another reason?
