Today, Trump simply continued the US’s 40 year campaign of terrorizing the Iranian people for overthrowing a US-backed dictator. Since 1979, the US has been teaching Iranians a lesson about what happens if you disobey the US & Iranians have been paying w/ their lives. #IranDeal
In truth, the US torment of Iranians started in 1953, w/ the US/UK supported coup against Iran's democracy & imposed the brutal Shah regime. The CIA worked w/ the Shah to track down dissidents & turn them over to be tortured.
When students stormed the US embassy in Tehran in 1979, they found an unbelievable amount of counterfeit Iranian currency, which the US was going to use to flood the Iranian economy & destroy it.
In 1980, following the overthrow of the Shah, the US even backed a failed coup plot called the Nojeh Coup Plot, which involved officers and servicemen from Iran's infantry, air force, army and secret service.
The US gave Saddam a "green light" for his bloody invasion of Iran in 1980, leading to deaths of 1 million people (600,000 Iranians). In the war, the US provided Saddam intelligence & chemical weapons, which he used on Iranian civilians. foreignpolicy.com/2013/08/26/exc…
By 1988, the US directly intervened to support Saddam, sinking half of Iran’s navy in Operation Preying Mantis. Then months later, in a blatant act of terror, the US shot down a civilian Iranian airliner killing 274 people & has never apologized for it. washingtonpost.com/news/worldview…
The US has long supported terror organizations, which operate in Iran in an attempt to sow chaos and kill Iranians. The US has even trained terror groups in Nevada then transported them into Iran.

The US has imposed devastating sanctions, damaging Iran’s economy, pushing up the prices of vital good and medicines and even killing thousands of Iranians.
