The regime of #Iran, like virtually all in the #MiddleEast, is vile and we hope one day it’s citizens will be free. But what the international #msm is doing right now with its coverage is essentially trying to aid the US government in another regime change attempt.
🧵<thread>

1/ #Iran was a democracy in 1953, but unfortunately its Socialist-leaning government nationalized its oil industry which was a no-no for the Imperialist #USA and #UK so the #CIA & #MI6 collaborated as they often do to overthrow its government and install a bloody dictator. #Shah

2/ the US plays lip-service to wanting democracy in the #MiddleEast, but what it demands is FIELTY to the US Empire. Egyptian people bravely and at great cost overthrew a bloody dictator and established the Arab World’s biggest democracy. The new govt wasn’t pro-US and in 2013…

3/ 1979 #Iran w/ its US backed bloody dictator the #Shah was a STRONG US ally. In 1979 a popular #IranianRevolution ousted the Shah from power but unfortunately for US #ForeignPolicy the winner of the revolution was the Iranian Theocracy you see today which is virulently anti-US.

4/ the US does not take countries in the #MiddleEast aligning against it lightly and it has repeatedly tried to overthrow and damage the Iranian government since 1979 including encouraging and supporting Iraq’s attack on Iran in 1980s which killed over 1 million Iranians!

5/ The Americans, Brits, and Israeli’s have been allied for over 40 years in wanting to overthrow the Iranian government and fund dissident groups including what we classify as terrorist organizations, think-tanks, and operatives. Billions have been spent in this endeavour.

6/ The US/Brits/Israelis aren’t alone in their #Iran regime change quest. Notably #ISIS #AlQaeda benefactor, and new Israeli-bestie #SaudiArabia, has prominently joined in the clandestine fight to overthrow Iran’s government.

Let me provide some examples.

7/ UK-based Iranian TV channel #IranInternational is bankrolled by #SaudiArabia bloody dictator #MohammedbinSalman.
#MBS has gotten off the mat and has warmed the hearts of the influential right-wing #Zionist lobby in the UK with this power move.

8/ The MAJOR reason why corporations buy #msm news outlets is to control and influence the narrative on key strategic issues!
#MBS understands this and built alliances with Western news outlets to reshape its image & battle rivals like #Iran. #MiddleEast

9/ Iranian officials have alleged that forces from “outside the country” are working to stir up unrest. Foreign NGO Director, the San Francisco-based United for Iran, had told the Guardian that his team has been organizing protesters for “several months.”

10/ In the #USA, the #CIA-backed National Endowment for Democracy has been financing the opposition #Iran for several years.

11/ The #CIA-backed National Endowment for Democracy has been financing the opposition in #Iran for several years, and is currently promoting one of its grant recipients as a source of authoritative coverage on the protests (see below.)

12/ Former US Congressman #RonPaul has mocked the claim that a US-government-hired Iranian opposition figure is “leading” what Washington is projecting as a “freedom” movement in #Iran amid deadly riots over the death of a young woman.

13/ So whenever you hear any western #msm news outlet provide coverage on Iran, remember there is a network of NGO groups and government officials in #USA #UK #Israel #SaudiArabia who are actively trying to achieve regime change in #Iran and influence msm media coverage to do so.
