“System Change” in Iran: Non -Democratic West History Israel’s conflict Iran

With the intensification of the military conflict between Israel and Iran, US President Donald Trump threatened that the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamna, is a “easy goal” of the American forces.

“We will not take it out (killing!), At least not at the present time … our patience is wearing thin,” Trump said in fact on Tuesday.

While thinking about the Trump administration whether it will use American aircraft and weapons to support the Israeli campaign against Iran, cracks began to appear to “make America great again” or Maga.

Commentator Taker Carlson and Trump’s one -time consultant, Steve Bannon, among other supporters, have argued that military action against Iran mainly aims to change the regime, and not only in dividing the nuclear program of Bran. “You will not convince me that the Iranian people are my enemy. It is Orwell, a man. You don’t tell me who I must hate.”

In the West, critics of the current rulers in Iran frame their opposition as the formation of the religious province of the Islamic Republic. However, the West recorded the change of regime in the country for a long time, preceding the revolution of 1979, led by Ayatollah Rohuh Khomeini.

So, do you call Israel to change the regime in Iran? Does the United States support this? What is the history of Western attempts to force the regimes you love on Iran?

Beyond the “RISING Lion” operation for Israel?

After Israel launched its attacks on Iran on Friday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Iranians in an English video, saying that he hoped that the “military operation” has been wiped your way to achieve your freedom.

This indicates that Israel’s goal in its attacks is to “thwart the threat of nuclear and ballistic missiles of the Islamic regime,” Netanyahu added that the Israeli campaign can lead to a change in the regime.

The Israeli military attack called “RISING Lion” is also a named name. The lion, who was behind him, was an important model for Persian empires dating back centuries. The lion, who carries a sword, was part of the Iranian flag under the era of the Bahlafi family, which ruled Iran from the late nineteenth century until 1979.

Netanyahu said on Friday: “It is time for the Iranian people to unify the flag (The) and its historical heritage, by standing for your freedom from the evil and oppressive regime.”

This position was seen as an attempt to summon nostalgia for before the revolution and pushing the Iranians towards the resistance. But Mark Owen Jones, associate professor of media analyzes at the University of North Western in Qatar, told Al -Jazeera that it would be naive to expect that “the Iranians may be affected by Israeli politicians who talk about the importance of Assad.”

Jones noticed that the messages of the Assad of Israel also aimed at its local audience. He said: “Israel (it) has become the lion who will take over the land after that. Israel has depicted itself as the lion in its historical forms.”

Israel is trying to create a feeling that “this is not just a strategic war, but these relations with the identity of Israel and its long account of this biblical homeland for the Jews,” added Jones.

However, if the Israeli government wants the Iranians to rise against the regime, Jones said, “Returning to Persian historical images will not be very effective, especially when they are Iranians.”

What did Trump say about my cloud?

Although Trump has not officially called for a change in the regime in Tehran, it has already threatened that the United States could shake Iran’s supreme leader if it chooses.

On Wednesday, Trump repeated his call to “unconditional surrender”, standing in the White House garden. The American president said: “Unpleasant surrender: This means that I got it. Well?

“For 40 years, they used to say: Death to America! Death to Israel! Death to anyone else did not like them. They were intimidating.

He concluded by saying: “We are not looking for a ceasefire. We are looking for complete victory. You know what is victory? No nuclear weapon.”

Did the West change the regime in Iran before?

For the United States and its allies, the “full full victory” in Iran has participated in the past changing the external regime.

In 1953, more than two decades before the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the CIA and the British MI6, organized the overthrow of the Democratic -elected Prime Minister, Muhammad Musadiig.

Musadiig moved to the nationalization of the Iranian oil industry, which was previously controlled by the Iranian Oil Company, owned by the British (now BP). This step was very popular in Iran, but it angered Western countries. Meanwhile, the madness of greatness in the Cold War was at its peak in Washington, and US officials feared that the Mustaig government had been drifting towards the Soviet Union.

Together, the United States and the United Kingdom launched a secret operation – known as the “AJAX Operation” – to remove Mossadegh.

The plan included financing protests, advertising cultivation in local newspapers, and supporting military officers loyal to the Shah of Iran, Muhammad Reza Bahlafi. On August 19, 1953, Mossadegh was removed from power. Shah, who briefly escaped from Iran, returned and unified power with our support.

Inside Iran and in the wider global south, the coup is widely seen as a turning point, which enhances perceptions that the West was more interested in controlling oil and influencing democracy support.

What happened next?

After 1953, the Shah ruled Iran as a strong American ally – as well as an increasingly repressive king.

The Shah launched an agenda from top to bottom called the White Revolution, expanding education and infrastructure, and paying secular reforms. However, the political opposition was brutally suppressed by Savak, the secret police.

Arbitral arrests, control and torture have become common. The inequality of wealth and its alliance with the West – especially the United States – has aggravated the isolation of both the religious establishment and the increasing sector of the population.

By the late 1970s, the public discontent reached the boiling point. Huge demonstrations erupted throughout the country, and called for the removal of the Shah. In January 1979, in the face of huge opposition, he fled Iran.

Ayatollah Roh Allah, Khomeini, returned from exile to lead the Islamic revolution. The monarchy collapsed, the Islamic Republic of Iran was born.

Khomeini died in 1989 after a long illness and the heart was eventually failing. Ali Khawni succeeded him after he held the position of President of Iran from 1981 to 1989.

The second cloud – the leader in Iran, has become the chair since June 4, 1989.

In his first televised speech since the Israeli attacks, Khamanini referred to Trump’s call “unconditional surrender”, noting that it was “unacceptable” and “arrogant”. “This nation will never give up,” he said. “America must know that any military intervention will undoubtedly lead to irreparable damage.”

This, Trump later said in the White House garden, “I say, good luck.”
