    Iran was never really the boogeyman except by Israeli and American rhetoric, USA made them into it, because Iran wanted to control their own oil. This goes back to the early 50’s, where CIA undermined the Iranian democracy to instate the Shah to allow Americans to profit from the oil.
    When Iran rebelled against the Shah in 1979, there was an attack on the US embassy by civilians, with 66 American hostages, USA was CLEARLY A HOSTILE force, so it was very understandable the public was mad at USA. Despite that after almost 2 years all the hostages were released. But USA has held Iran accountable ever since. despite it was not an official act, and despite AFAIK no Americans were killed. Yet USA has held an embargo supported by allies for almost half a century because of that.
    So by USA reasoning it’s OK to hijack an entire country, dismantling their democracy with lies and fake terrorist attacks, and then take the country hostage for 20n years. But holding some 60 Americans prisoners for 2 years for their participation, makes Iran a terrorist nation!!
    USA being a force in the world for democracy is a lie, what they are is a force for is US profits and nothing more.
    USA continue their crimes against Iran, with false claims of Iran trying to make an atom bomb, despite all international intelligence that is the least bit trustworthy reports that it was against religious principles of Iranian theocracy. (But maybe they finally changed their minds?)

    The US and allies treatment of Iran has been insanely unfair, just as it has been against Cuba.
    All civilized countries need to stand up against such international atrocities. Without USA Iran would probably still be a Democracy!!!
    It’s disgusting that EU does not distance itself more from USA in their war against Iran!
