The Situation in Iran is More Dangerous Than it Seems - Paul Warburg



Protests are erupting all across Iran, and the situation is only getting worse. Donald Trump has threatened to militarily intervene if Iran uses force against protesters, and Iran isn't exactly happy about that either. The situation is eerily similar to what caused the collapse of the Persian monarchy and led to the creation of the Iranian regime in the first place. Let's look at what's going, and what makes these protests different from protests in previous years - and why it's so scary for the Ayatollah regime.

Because they want to develop nuclear power for energy, and Iran is none of our business anyway, because the US and Israel are the real problem, both of whom have actual nukes, and the the Iranian regime was created by the CIA 100 years ago or something like that.
