They were an ally until they tried to nationalize their oil industry and reap the benefits instead of the US and UK. So yeah, we have been there for 70 years fucking with them.
The religious nut bags came as a result of US meddling and regime change. The US installed the puppet Shah and his regime paved the way for the Mullahs to take power.
Read some books, take a history lesson. It’s pretty well accepted.
Pretty normal US SOP.
There’s an obvious direction that they’re NOT allowing the clerics to take…at the moment. That’s what I’m seeing.
Continuing efforts to guide Iran towards “different leadership” would be my thinking…if I were a decision maker.
Here is a quick and dirty rundown.
Disregard the source as there are hundreds of others that will outline the same thing.
https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2025/6/23/history-of-us-iran-relations-from-the-1953-regime-change-to-trump-strikes
Here’s a timeline of US-Iran relations since 1953:
(1953) US-backed coup and reinstallation of the shah: Tensions initially began brewing over the democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh’s efforts to nationalise the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (now BP). The British colonial power controlled the majority stake in the joint-venture company since oil was discovered in the early 1900s. Mosaddegh’s moves to nationalise the company after his 1951 election angered the British. The US’s Central Intelligence Agency supported the United Kingdom in engineering a coup and backing once-deposed monarch, Pahlavi, back into power as shah.
(1957) Atoms for Peace: The shah’s ambitions for a nuclear-powered Iran gained support from the US and other Western allies. Both countries signed a nuclear agreement for the civilian use of nuclear power as part of then-US President Dwight D Eisenhower’s Atoms for Peace programme. A decade later, the US provided Iran with a nuclear reactor and uranium to fuel it. The nuclear collaboration forms the basis for the current nuclear question.
(1979) Islamic revolution: While relations between Tehran and Washington flourished, Iranians groaned under the dictatorship of the shah and resisted the perceived overreach of Western influence on their business. Revolutionary protests began rocking the country in late 1978 and forced the shah to flee in January 1979. Exiled Islamic scholar Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned to rule the new Islamic republic.
(1980) US cuts diplomatic ties:Following the US’s move to admit the shah for cancer treatment after his exile, Iranian students broke into the US embassy in Tehran and kidnapped 52 Americans for 444 days. Washington cut off diplomatic ties and imposed sanctions on the country. The shah died in exile.
(1980-88) US backs Iraqi invasion: Following Iraq’s invasion of Iran under Saddam Hussein, who was eager to push back against Khomeini’s ideology, the US sided with Iraq, deepening tensions between the two nations. The war lasted till 1988 and saw thousands die on both sides. Iraq also used chemical weapons on Iran.
(1984) Sponsor of terror designation: President Ronald Reagan officially designated Iran as a “state sponsor of terror” after a series of attacks in Lebanon, where the US had been drawn in after Israel invaded the country. In one attack on a military base in Beirut, 241 US service members were killed. The US blamed Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shia movement backed by Iran. Later, though, Reagan worked with Iran behind the scenes to free American hostages held by Hezbollah. When it came to light, the Iran-Contra affair, as it was termed, was a huge scandal for Reagan.
(1988) Iran Air flight shot down:Amid war tensions and even direct attacks on each other’s military warships in the Gulf, a US naval ship breached Iranian waters and fired at the civilian Iran Air flight (IR655) headed to Dubai on July 8. All 290 people on board were killed. The US, which claimed it was a mistake, did not formally apologise or claim responsibility but paid families $61.8m as compensation.
(1995) Tighter sanctions: Between 1995 and 1996, the US imposed more sanctions. Then, President Bill Clinton’s executive orders banned US companies from dealing with Iran, while Congress passed a law penalising foreign entities investing in the country’s energy sector or selling Iran advanced weapons. The US cited nuclear advancement and support of groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
(2002) 9/11 aftermath: Following the 9/11 attacks on the US, President George W Bush, in a State of the Union address, said Iran was part of an “Axis of Evil” alongside Iraq and North Korea. At the time, Iran had been parlaying with the US behind the scenes to target their mutual foes – the Taliban in Afghanistan and al-Qaeda. The cooperation was soured, and by the end of 2022, international observers notedhighly enriched uranium in Iran, inviting more sanctions.
(2013) Iran nuclear deal: Between 2013 and 2015, US President Barack Obama began high-level talks with Iran. In 2015, Tehran agreed to the nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), that would limit Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for an easing of sanctions. China, Russia, France, Germany, the UK and the European Union were also party to the deal that capped Iran’s enrichment at 3.67 percent.
(2018) Trump withdraws from the nuclear deal: Under Trump’s first term, the US unilaterally withdrew from the deal in 2018 and slapped back sanctions against Iran. Trump and Israel had been critical of the deal. Iran also called off its commitments and began producing enriched uranium beyond the limits the deal had imposed.
(2020) IRGC leader assassinated:During Trump’s first term, the US killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, the head of the elite Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), in Baghdad in a drone strike. A year earlier, the administration had named the Quds Force a “terrorist” organisation. Iran responded with strikes on US assets in Iraq.
(2025) Letter to Tehran: In March, Trump shot off a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei proposing new negotiations on a nuclear deal with a deadline of 60 days. But Khamenei rejected the offer, saying the US is not seeking negotiations with Iran but rather imposing demands on it. Talks started unofficially in Oman and Italy, with Muscat acting as the mediator. Trump claimed his team was “very close” to a deal after several rounds of talks and warned Israel against strikes. Tehran, too, expressed optimism but insisted on the right to enrich uranium – a sticking point in the talks. Israel launched strikes across Iran a day before the sixth round of the Iran-US talks.
(2025) US strikes: The US bombed three key nuclear facilities in Iran, citing security concerns and the defence of Israel

This woman is apparently Faith Advisor to your president.. No words!
as long as the bud lites arent woke anymore im good with this. good use of taxpayer dollars imho.
It’s great that we have a bunch of Israeli and US religious zealots running the country.
What could go wrong?
It’s funny that the pretend Christian president just rolls with it.
She’s fucking nuts. Is that real?
assuming this meme thats been floating around today is referring to articles like these - https://www.ms.now/opinion/iran-war-christian-nationalism-hegseth-military-religious-freedom
wouldn't be surprised
Well Tg that claim about Witkoff also been disputed by a foreign diplomat in those meetings. That diplomat said that what Witkoff said was a 100% fabration and that the Iranians where willing to give up there nuclear materials. It sounded more like Witkoff was intentionally trying to undermine the talks. Also isn’t it odd that Marco Rubio wasn’t there when he is the top diplomat, oh he was at the Olympics part of the time.
First thing Monday morning I bought 500L of heating oil for £393 ($450).
Out of curiosity I went to see how much that would cost me today - £682 ($783).
I think it’s funny that some people think the military plans should be made public.
I think most people are hoping there is a plan top begin with...
Let me guess... "Anonymous source"?
I think it’s more like the public would like to have a little confidence that the people tasked with the huge responsibility have half a fucking clue what they are doing and a well thought out plan.
Well, brother, apparently only Matt’s sources are viable and there’s obviously no reason to believe the people, that go ON THE RECORD, that were literally…
In the room. 🤣
i think it's funny that the guy you all voted for set up a "situation room" with some curtains and then posted their assets and targets to their public facebook page for the world to see
Pit Row
Still doesn’t address any strategy. Iranian leadership is dead or on the run, and nuclear assets are compromised. What’s next?
I’m assuming you’re wondering about containment?
Buckle up boys!
I think it’s funny MAGA was beating the drum about Biden profiting off the presidency and not a peep about the billions Trump and family are getting from the saudis. Which might have something to do with all this.
Rules for the but not for me.
Your entire movement doesn’t even have a root in anything other then what the Donald says.
Mike Baker, on Dave Rubin's YouTube channel, had a nice breakdown on what's happening over there now, and the lead up to the festivities in Iran.
They will go in though the western part of the country with some Kurdish support.
Israel has been talking about Turkey being the next threat with growth aspirations in the area.
A NATO country is gonna be their next opposition target.
That sure will test the US-Israel bond.
Bahrain is kicking off internally with its Shiite population starting to rise up in opposition.
Israel wants to destabilize all of the US’s gulf allies and continue to create instability in the region.
They don’t want regime change in Iran, the want a full on civil war and for the country to implode.
Surprised Russia is so silent because one of the major paths of migration would be north into their territory.
Not sure I would take Mike Baker with more than a grain of salt because you know he’s still in the CIA’s payroll.
They just put him on Rogan when they need Joe to be enough of a sucker to platform him to deliver their latest messaging.
Why am I not shocked you listen to Dave Rubin Joey🤷♂️
Cosmo was the best.
Hilarious troll of the Iranian Prince😂😂😂

Didn't figure you'd be sharp enough to understand anything other than your msm bullshit.
Stay in the dark.
It's what most of you in this thread are best at.
