@AnarchoNinaWrites @scottmichaud @Sobex after 9/11 Iran tried a rapprochement with the USA, since they saw the salafi extremists (mostly funded by Saudi) as a common enemy. They even wanted to help the US find Bin Laden, and help in Afghanistan against the Taliban. They were told to F off. This is all reprisal from the USA for the Iranians daring to expel the US’s favourite dictator in 1979. The colonial hegemony must be maintained.
