How much is your local "Trump at the Pump Tax?"

The Iranians are defending Iran against the attack by our sociopath in Chief. Our House of Representatives has rejected the War Powers authorization:

In early June 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bipartisan war powers resolution to halt unauthorized military action against Iran. The measure, which directs President Donald Trump to remove U.S. Armed Forces from the conflict, now awaits action in the Senate.

We both receive the same information...so let's not get into the weeds playing word games.

 

Then let's take a longer view.

The Shah was a US ally and was very hard on retrograde muslim elements in Iran. He also pushed Iran into the wider, more international and functional world in which women drove and went to university. Like Sadat and Mubarak in Egypt, he suppressed the sort of people who burn people alive for going to the theater and behead children for flying kites.

Carter undermined that modernization and helped to unleash a mutation of shia that would inflict barbarity on modern iranians, destabilize and impoverish another jewel in the region, and make the US a target as the leader of the modernity it opposed.

What you call a dictatorial monarchy was Iran's constitutional government from which Moseddegh usurped authority and set Iran on a Venezuela like path. Complaining that the UK didn't let that catastrophe play out to its end and about US "national sins" is a pretty specific niche analysis.
