Gee, I wonder why they didn’t use their free money to improve their country. Was it the (at least for a while) US-backed dictator getting US aid and weapons to send young Iraqi men to their deaths? Or was it the US sanctions killing thousands of Iraqi children and impoverishing the rest of the population? Or was it the US invasion plunging their country into over a decade of civil war and instability that continues to this day? I suppose we’ll never know!
Iran literally got couped in 1953 after democratically electing a progressive, secular government. The country’s oil exports literally got MILITARILY BLOCKED by the British navy, and the USA sponsored mafias to carry out terror attacks and make it seem like it was communists who did it.
I’m not talking about Iran specifically, although I understand it wasn’t very clear in my first comment, but the region in general.
Besides that, 1953 is quite a few decades ago, will they ever stand on their own feet or will they forever blame the past? Every country has had tragedies but unjust as it may be you have to move forwards
So, not talking about Iran in particular in a post about Iran, just handwaving about “the region”, shows how much you understand the politics of Iran.
What happened to Iran isn’t an isolated incident a few decades ago. The fact is that as soon as a government tries to rule itself to serve its people instead of western capitalists, it gets couped at best and bombed and invaded at worst. We’re seeing it today with Venezuela. The constant threat of invasion, coup and bombing is what makes these governments more repressive than they would be otherwise.

The us invaded every country in the middle east? TIL
Guess they’re never going to be the masters of their own fate, in 200 years they can still blame the us for any shortcomings.

But go ahead, remain ignorant.
