If US needs to intervene, why are they are not intervening in Ukraine? Far worse things has been happening there for 4 years.

> Tell that to the 30k+ iranian protestors that were killed

in general, "protestors" that are armed by foreigners and actively killing police officers and other government officials aren't "protestors".

And can you tell us where this 30k came from?

It's nothing to do with Iran being bad or good. US and Iran were negotiating. You don't attack mid negotiation when you're supposedly still trying to fix things by talking.

You might think Iran isn't owed the courtesy of fair negotiation but that's very shortsighted. Next country will not take US's negotiations seriously and will be, frankly, at some level justified in shooting first.

US sanctions, US/Moss instigates, makes the Iranis desparate. Irani regime (that is the result of US intervention decades ago) digs in and toughens up.

People die in the streets.

Who's to blame? The Irani regime? C'mon...

It's like crashing your car into a tree and and blaming the tree.

Also: you really think the US/Moss care about dead Iranis in the streets, other than it being a useful pretext to go to war?
