The US has been pushing for a regime change in Iran ever since its client the Shah was toppled in 1979.

Here's an overview: 🧵 2/7 CARTER: 'C' FOR 'COUP'

In early February 1979, US President Jimmy Carter considered “Option C,” with “C” standing for military coup, after the revolution, the WSJ revealed.

TRUMP’S STRIKE WAS ILLEGITIMATE

With no tangible evidence or intelligence suggesting that Iran has been working on a nuclear weapon, the US attack hardly seems legitimate.

“But regardless, this is something we're used to,” Rizk notes.

If the US does announce military action - what will it be like?

Let’s break down possible scenarios: 🧵 TRUMPED UP PRETEXT?

Before strikes begin, the US would need a casus belli.

For Trump, it would likely be ‘preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon’.

But here’s the thing: both IAEA's chief & Trump's intel chief Gabbard say there’s NO evidence Iran is pursuing a nuke.
