The administration claimed that blocking arms transfers would embolden Hamas — ignoring Israel’s genocidal slaughter.

Why would Iran be a threat to Israel and the US? Could it be because of violently overthrowing the democrwtically elected leader and installing a puppet that murdered and tortured his people with US and Israeli aid for 30 years, so the US could steal oil from Iran?
Naah, why would anyone feel offended by this? Clearly they are just evil and don’t like bald eagles…
Also the US doesnt give a shit about Iran specifically. The US needs Israel as the rusty knife in the side of West Asia to sow division among the Arab and muslim nations. If they were to get rid of their corrupted leaders and Israel they could quickly grow to a power bloc that can’t be pushed around anymore.
The US needed perpetual war and instability in the Region. And Israel is a good means to instigate that. Meanwhile Europe suffers greatly from the US instability workings.
Various reasons have been given for the Iran-Israel conflict. Iran and Israel had previously enjoyed warm ties due to common threats, but by the 1990s the USSR had dissolved and Iraq had been weakened.[29] Iranian Islamists have long championed the Palestinian people, whom they perceive as oppressed.[30] Scholars believe that by supporting the Palestinians, Iran seeks greater acceptance among Sunnis and Arabs, both of whom dominate the Middle East.[31][32] Ideologically, Iran seeks to replace Israel with a one-state solution (though Iran has at times also supported the two-state solution),[33] and has predicted Israel’s demise.[34] Israel sees Iran as an existential threat,[35] and accuses its regime of harboring genocidal intentions.[36] Consequently, Israel has sought sanctions and military action against Iran to stop it from acquiring nuclear weapons.[37]
Iran qnd Israel shared “warm ties” while the Shah was in power as a western puppet. His internal police was trained and worked together with Mossad and CIA to torture murder and dissappear tens of thousands of people.
The moment things changed is pretty straight forward. When the revolution kicked out the Western puppet. Unfortunately the revolutionary moment was seized by the theocrats who now also run an opressive regime.
You deliberately left out the paragraph right before that explaining all of this.
I didn’t deliberately leave it out. I just didn’t see a point in including it. I was sharing this info in response to this comment of yours:
To point out that Iran was a threat to Israel long after the coup to remove Mohammad Mossadegh that you seemed to be referring to:
The August 1953 coup stemmed from U.S. fears over the Soviet Union increasingly wanting a piece of Iran as Communists agitated within the country.
