    As are its hostilities with the USA and Israel.

    There’s no world where an independent Iran isn’t hostile to the US and Israel; they’re too much of a threat to US-Israeli regional hegemony.

    I think that’s supporting the Iranian revolutionaries with everything we have to offer.

    Because that worked so well in Afghanistan.

      There are already worlds where Egypt and Jordan are on non-enemy terms with USA, though with Israel is questionable because that requires a hypothetical world where Iran never funneled weapons and money to extremists in Palestine and whether or not that had any impact on Israel’s actions and therefor international relationships, but the point being:

      Iran only dug its own grave by allowing autocracy and allying with other autocrats.

        Because they’re run by pro-American dictatorships (more complex in Jordan’s case tbf) bought off by American money, which only proves my point. Both Egypt and Jordan are American vassal states and not independent in any real sense of the word.

          lmao

          Egypt and Jordan being run by America is a new one.

          You realize POTUS Obama criticized the Egypt leadership in 2013 for using force against their opposition the Muslim Brotherhood, suspending joint military cooperation? Things haven’t really gotten much better since then, either, but the EU have stepped up with a cooperation agreement in 2024.

          I’m not even going to address the absurdity of claiming Jordan is a US Puppet.
