A Post-Islamic Republic Foreign Policy: New Friends, New Enemies

It’s important to remember that the clerics who came to power in Iran were beneficiaries of U.S. intervention, or lack thereof, in the critical moments in 1979 when the Shah was second guessing himself and needed reassurance from the U.S. that he wouldn’t get left out in the cold should he decide to open fire on the Islamist rioters and use the military against them to get them off the streets.

The answer he got back was negative.

President Carter basically told him you’re on your own. According to historian Andrew Scott Cooper the Shah was squeamish and didn’t want to shed blood to hold onto his weak throne. Plus, after his cancer diagnosis in the mid 1970s the writing was on the wall. A succession crisis was inevitable.

The rest is history.

The ungrateful wolves took over and even interfered in the U.S. presidential election of 1980, under the CIA’s guidance and direction, to remove Carter from the picture and put George H. W. Bush inside the White House. 

Carter got what he deserved. The manufactured hostage scandal tarnished his reputation and gave Reagan an easy foreign policy win on his first day in office.

That history is important because the so-called revolutionary regime in Tehran was a product of a color revolution before that term was invented. It was dependent on CIA machinations to gain and secure political power. And then through clever cultural engineering and brute force it was able to build a somewhat strong regime with many brainwashed loyalists.

This history means it is fair game for any new regime change operation. What goes around comes around. 

But, regime change operations enacted by the pedophile clan in Washingdon and Jerusalem have proven to be disastrous in Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Terrorists and militias have asserted power in these failed states in abscene of true leadership.

And the same scenario will most likely play out in Venezuela and Iran as well because people inherently don’t like being occupied by foreigners. Militias and gangsters will seize opportunities should the central states be destroyed.

A U.S.-Israel-NATO war against the Islamic Republic won’t be a quick hit and run. It will be a long, protracted affair. Many Iranians, Jews, and Americans will die. 

When the dust settles, and should a new regime come to power, there’s no doubt Iran will undergo a huge transformation foreign policy wise. The Iranian people, most of them young, have no interest in advancing the Palestinian cause whatsoever. It’s a dead issue. 

Call it emotional exhaustion, call it what you want. Palestine just doesn’t stir the blood like it once did. The capital city is drying up. People naturally care more about immediate environmental and economic concerns than external affairs. Americans have a similar emotional exhaustion regarding Israel. Simply put, there’s bigger fish to fry than settling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
