Standing With Iran
The United States has been determined to crush the Islamic Republic of Iran ever since a revolution brought it to power 47 years ago. In the 1980s the U.S. made Iraq’s president Saddam Hussein their proxy as he unleashed a war against Iran that killed an estimated 1 million people. The chemical weapons that the U.S. later used as a pretext for invasion and occupation of Iraq were actually used against Iran. The U.S. navy shot down an Iranian civilian airliner and killed 290 people in 1988. Vice President George H.W. Bush famously responded with these words. “I'll never apologize for the United States of America, ever. I don't care what the facts are. I’m not an apologize-for-America kind of guy.”
