    They strangled tje ecpnomy creating the discontent. And you better believe they are neck deep inflaming tensions, stoking violence.

    I think it is not believable that a rational informed person could disagree with these points frankly. Unless you were born yesterday.

      Economic woes were the flashpoint but Iranian discontent has been simmering over repression for much longer. And while you’re right that the US and Company have been hurting the Iranian economy, the people would be quick to blame the US instead of their own leaders if they weren’t already so disaffected. Unhappiness with how the regime has spent the money it does have doesn’t help things.
