Rise Up Against Your Government: And Making Matters Worse Iran and Iraq

 

This a video of George H. W. Bush to remove Saddam Hussein from power.

What was the result? Saddam Hussein remained in power by crushing the up rising.

Here's George W. Bush speaking just before the second invasion of Iraq.

 

Many Iraqis can hear me tonight in a translated radio broadcast, and I have a message for them. If we must begin a military campaign, it will be directed against the lawless men who rule your country and not against you. As our coalition takes away their power, we will deliver the food and medicine you need. We will tear down the apparatus of terror and we will help you to build a new Iraq that is prosperous and free. In a free Iraq, there will be no more wars of aggression against your neighbours, no more poison factories, no more executions of dissidents, no more torture chambers and rape rooms. The tyrant will soon be gone. The day of your liberation is near.

Saddam Hussein was removed from power. In May of 2003 Paul Bremer disbanded the Baath Party, the Iraqi military and dismissed all those currently working for the government. What followed was the formation of ISIS and a protracted civil war. With most American forces withdrawn in 2011. The final withdrawal of all American forces happened in January of this year. 

Donald Trump has, like his two Republican predecessors has told the Iranian people to take control of the country. While Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini may be dead the government he led remains in power.  

The CIA's Iran Coup

 In 1953 the CIA instituted Operation Ajax which was led by Kermit Roosevelt cousin of Franklin Roosevelt. Using cash to payoff government opposition groups and propaganda the coup was a success collapsing the  government of Prime Minister of Iran Mohammad Mosaddegh.  

The overthrow of Mosadegh's was done to stop the nationalisation of Irans oil industry which at that time was controlled by the British  Anglo-Iranian Oil Company  Mosadegh's government had sought an audit of Anglo-Iranian books to insure that Iran was being paid what was owed per the agreement.  The British saw the nationalisation of Anglo-Iranian has a case of theft. 

With Mosadegh removed from power the Shah of Iran was able to consolidate his power. Over his 26 years in power the Shah's government became more repressive using the SAVAK to repress dissent, censor the media and imprison those opposed to the Shah's rule. 

All of this helped to ensure the Islamic Revolution of 1979 would be a success. 

Israel launches attack on Iran as explosions heard in Tehran

Israel said it had attacked Iran early on Saturday morning, as explosions were heard across Tehran.

An Israeli military spokesman said the country had “launched a pre-emptive strike against Iran to remove threats to the state of Israel.”

Israel closed its airspace and declared a state of emergency, in anticipation of Iranian drone and missile strikes in response.

Sirens sounded across Israel at around 08:15 local time (06:15 GMT), alerting people of the threat of a possible missile attack. The Israeli strikes happen amid diplomatic efforts between US and Iranian officials for a deal to curb Iran’s nuclear programme and avert a war, and negotiations were expected to continue next week.

Iran had made concessions in the talks, although US President Donald Trump - who had previously threatened to attack Iran to put pressure on its leaders to accept a deal - said yesterday he was not “thrilled” with the way the discussions were going.

Four shot dead on US-registered speedboat by border guards, Cuba says

Four people who entered Cuban waters on a US-registered speedboat have been shot dead by border guards, Cuba's government said.

In a statement, Cuba's interior ministry said that the speedboat's passengers opened fire on a coast guard vessel that approached them.

Six additional passengers were wounded in the incident, which took place near an island on Cuba's northern coast.

The identities of those on board the vessel or what it was doing in the area are unclear, with the Cuban government saying an investigation has been launched to "clarify" the event.

In statement posted on X, the ministry said the Florida-registered vessel - with the registration number FL7726SH - was detected near Cayo Falcones, in the country's central Villa Clara province on Wednesday morning.
