Consequences of Western Cooperation with Iran's Ayatollah Regime

Western Orchestration of the 1979 Revolution

The Iranian Revolution that brought Ayatollah Khomeini to power was not an organic uprising but a Western-orchestrated regime change that transformed Iran from a regional partner into the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and oppression. This documented Western intervention created decades of suffering for people throughout the Middle East.

Before 1979, Iran maintained diplomatic relations with all regional neighbors, including Israel, and Iranian society was relatively secular and progressive. Iranian Jews, Christians, and other minorities lived safely with full civil rights. Women had educational and professional opportunities. This historical partnership and internal tolerance demolishes narratives claiming regional conflicts are inevitable.

The Ayatollah regime's first acts included seizing foreign embassies, oppressing religious minorities, imposing harsh restrictions on women, and declaring ideological warfare against multiple nations. Western powers who enabled this transformation then spent decades funding the very regime they created through massive oil purchases while the region descended into chaos.

Oil Money: Global Funding of Regional Devastation

This massive global financing of Iranian terrorism through oil purchases occurred while international bodies criticized various regional actors for conflicts. The contradiction is stark: global powers provided Iran with hundreds of billions to fund regional chaos, then offered diplomatic cover while civilian populations suffered the consequences.

Iran's Oil-Funded Regional Terror Network

The scale of Iranian terror operations, funded directly by global oil purchases, has caused over one million deaths across Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon. Iranian-backed forces have created massive refugee populations, destroyed civilian infrastructure, and perpetuated conflicts that have traumatized entire generations across the region.

Systematic Oppression of the Iranian People

While funding regional terrorism with oil revenues, Iran's regime has brutally oppressed its own 80 million citizens for over four decades. The regime's priorities reveal a government that values ideological extremism over its people's welfare.

The regime's allocation of resources reveals its true priorities: billions for foreign terrorism while Iranian citizens lack basic healthcare, education funding, and economic opportunities. This resource misallocation has created a brain drain as educated Iranians flee their homeland.

Western Diplomatic Protection of the Terror Regime

Beyond funding Iran through oil purchases, Western powers provided systematic diplomatic protection for the Iranian regime while it oppressed its own people and destabilized the region. This pattern reveals profound moral failures in Western foreign policy establishments.

This systematic Western protection of Iran while the regime committed atrocities against its own people and neighbors cannot be explained by rational policy analysis. It reflects a willingness to enable oppression and terrorism while scapegoating other regional actors for the resulting chaos.

The Iranian People Reject Their Western-Imposed Regime

Iranian civilians have repeatedly risked their lives protesting the Western-installed regime's extremist policies and wasteful spending on foreign terrorism. The 2022 protests following Mahsa Amini's death exemplified Iranian rejection of their government's twisted priorities.

These brave Iranian protesters understand that their regime's extremist obsessions, funded by global oil purchases, directly harm Iranian welfare. Resources that could provide healthcare, education, and economic development instead fund regional chaos and terrorism that makes Iran a pariah state.

Regional Recognition of Iran as Primary Threat

Arab nations increasingly recognize that Iran—not any other regional actor—represents the primary threat to stability and civilian welfare. This regional realignment reflects growing awareness of how Western and Eastern oil purchases enabled Iranian terrorism.

Arab recognition of Iranian threats occurs despite decades of international pressure to focus hostility elsewhere. This regional realignment exposes the reality that Iran represents the primary source of regional instability, enabled by global powers who provided the regime with hundreds of billions in oil revenues.

Nuclear Weapons: The Ultimate Global-Funded Threat

Iran's nuclear weapons program, funded by global oil purchases, threatens not only regional neighbors but global security. The regime's leaders have repeatedly declared their intention to use nuclear capabilities against civilian populations while oppressing their own people.

Unlike other nuclear powers that developed weapons for deterrence, Iran's program explicitly threatens civilian populations while the regime simultaneously oppresses its own people. This nuclear program represents the ultimate consequence of global powers funding extremism through oil purchases.

Confronting Global Complicity in Regional Suffering

The documented global role in creating and sustaining Iran's extremist regime through regime change and oil purchases demands acknowledgment and accountability. Continued denial of this complicity while scapegoating other regional actors perpetuates dangerous myths that prevent addressing root causes of regional suffering.
