Didn't the CIA set up the current leadership in Iran decades after WWII?

How hasn’t the Iranian people just completely revolted by now? You’d think this would be a slam dunk for the CIA to be working behind the scenes to bring it down. That said, fuck everything and every side of this idiotic war.

Dry_Werewolf_1597

Iran’s internal repression is a separate debate. This article is about whether Iran is an imminent threat to the US, and on that the record is clear: they haven’t attacked the US homeland and ‘imminent threat’ claims before Middle East wars have a bad track record. Remember the WMDs. Also, America already tried running Iran. The Shah was Washington’s guy — his secret police tortured thousands with CIA support. That’s literally what caused the 1979 revolution. Iranians didn’t overthrow one foreign-backed ruler just to get another one. ‘Their government is bad’ and ‘they’re about to attack us’ are two completely different arguments. Mixing them together until nobody can tell them apart is exactly what propaganda does

Davereeno

Pretty sure the State Department, CIA, Pentagon, etc., all had staff experts on Iran and Middle East politics. But the Trump administration has probably fired all of them that weren’t yes-men. There’s nobody there to tell Trump, hey this is a very bad idea.

Dude that’s not even close. Bay of Pigs wasn’t a disaster because it was a failed invasion of Cuba. It was a disaster because the CIA started an invasion of another country without the approval of the president and then when the president found out he pulled the plug. Except the invasion has already started so the first wave was left out to dry while the US military watched them get executed because they were forbidden from participating. It was bad for the US because it made the president look not in control of his own military, the military look weak against a lesser power, and solidified the Cuban regime. The Iran Contra affair wasn’t controversial because of Iran or the Contra. It was because what Reagan did was literally high treason and he weaseled his way out of it due to a lack of concrete evidence. ICE might be paramilitary, but they aren’t rogue, and paramilitary has been pretty normal in the US for a looooong time. Just because they’re awful doesn’t mean they are ignoring the orders of the executive branch, which is what rogue would mean in this context.

Ok interesting discussion. Here's what I see. The US has always been the strongest force within NATO. It was the US that involved itself in Ukraine's affairs in recent decades, transforming it into a pro-Western country with pro-Western leaders. The US had something like 11 CIA bases in Ukraine up until this war broke out. The National Endowment for Democracy and the US State Department were instrumental in all this. And right now, it is the US that runs the Ukrainian defense, not EU/NATO. They don't have the troops or the weaponry. Even we don't have the troops. And we're running out of weaponry. But our generals in US/German bases have been calling the shots and providing intelligence and weaponry to Ukraine which their soldiers are fighting. Eventually Russia will be the acknowledged winner and will keep the eastern parts of Ukraine. EU NATO leaders are more or less puppets screened and/or appointed by the US. EU nations do not have a military which can match the Russian army right now. They've leaned heavily on the US for decades. This is what Trump complained so much about in his first term: EU not paying its fair share for NATO. Over the last year or so, some EU leaders have bloviated about rebuilding their economies with large increases in defense spending so that they can face down this Russian menace and maybe even take Russia's natural resources and pay down their own massive national debts. But right now, their militaries are just not in a state to do such a thing. Their entire industrial economies are hobbled by very high energy costs now. Industrial bases in the EU are shrinking, not expanding. How will they build massive quantities of military equipment? On the other side, before Trump, the Germans had been doing a good energy pipeline business with Russia, which, I think, strongly suggests they weren't worried about feeding the Russian bear and making it stronger. Germans saw the cheap natural gas as a good deal and beneficial for their economy. Obama recognized that Russia had escalation dominance in Ukraine and that the US had no incentive to try and push on them. Then we got Trump/Biden/Trump. Trump said, I don't know how many times, that he would end the war with Russia in 24 hours. If Russia were losing, why did they rebuff Trump? So I see it differently. EU countries don't have enough of their own energy supplies and imports are way too expensive. They have big debt problems, their social fabric is unraveling and their industrial bases are fading fast. They need outside help if Russia attacks. But I also don't think Russia will attack because what would be the point for them?

FunkyMonk100k

Well we’ve tried using the CIA installing a puppet leader (Iran), invading and getting their leader killed (Iraq), and invading to remove a political party (Afghanistan). None of that seemed to work. We bombed the shit out of Germany and Japan then brought them into the world economy and that seemed to work. It’s like when you’re poor then get an extremely high paying job, you don’t go shoplifting or breaking into peoples houses for money

chessto

Destabilizing governments, attempting/performing assassination of foreign leaders, arming opposing factions, creating chaos in democratic emergent countries, keeping concentration camps and using torture for interrogation. Give me a break, the US has been a terrorist nation. Does operation Condor ring a bell? my country suffered a lot from the CIA interventions and still does to this day, just that the media factory in the US has promoted the idea that in order to be a terrorist you need to be an army without a state.

Sure... But this war is not helping that happen. Large numbers of Iranians were already protesting, they could have been helped in more subtle CIA type ways. Instead there is nothing that will unite a country behind hard-line militarists like the republican guard than invasion by a foreign infidel. Attacks on Iran, especially by Israel, have probably set internal reform back by a decade.

There is evidence of them “wanting to be close” as part of a strategy and no I’m not going to provide you a source. I don’t care what you think. You’re wrong and if you spent enough time researching this subject you’d already know that. For example: the US intelligence (CIA), the IAEA and other western intelligence agencies all concluded that Iran was in compliance with the JCPOA before Trump decided to tear it up. There is a lot of evidence to the contrary of your “point”, go find it. Furthermore, the Iranians were not even “that close” to having a nuclear weapon anyway. Going from 60% to 90% isn’t exactly trivial and then they would have needed the metallurgical ability to create a core for a weapon. But this is all irrelevant now isn’t it? The cat is out of the bag now and the consequences of Israel and the US decisions are now clear for the world to see. We’ll see if this all ends up being worth it in the end but I have my doubts. So long as the IRGC led current regime stays in power then the “nuclear threat” from Iran will never be over. And now we have should them that is no possible negotiations with the US and Israel. Now they will stop at nothing to have nukes.

you mean "allegedly" by Western-American-Israeli owned media. Numbers are alledgedly way lower and are allegedly reported to be Mossad and CIA instigators that where using arms to shoot police officers and recue workers. Please also watch non-western news. The internet was allegedly shut off to disrupt communications for CIA-Mossad operatives in the country. There is a lot of "truth" coming from the American-israeli side wich is copy-pasted and spread as truth. I think what Iran is reporting is more credible than what USA is reporting. Their narrative seems to stay the same the entire time.

Honestly, I wonder if GCC countries should simply denounce their treaties with the US and close the american bases to avoid a destruction of their vital infrastructures. Which is what Iran publicly suggested. But then the CIA and the Mossad will try to overthrow the current leaders.

The Saudis funded 9/11, not Iran. The USA is completely to blame for the regime in Iran, after they backed a POS for decades, they installed after a CIA backed coup against a democratically elected leader, who wanted to see BP's accounting for the oil they were taking. Abs BP didn't like that.

Because you started this war without even saying anything. On the other hand, NATO doesn't work like that (Article 5, hola). Thirdly, you made disparaging statements about the European soldiers who died alongside you in Afghanistan and Iraq. Fourthly, this is yours and Bibi's war, Trump says this every other day, that he doesn't need help. Fifthly, a month ago you wanted to occupy EU territories and you said America can do anything because America, fuck yea, Denmark, an allie can try defend it. Man, I'm seriously curious to see what you will do with China, because sooner or later someone will show that we're not in the 80s anymore and shooting 2-3 $3 million missiles at $50,000 drones made by housewifes in the kitchen, that's no bueno. You're tough for a few days, then the momentum and the missile run out. We're seeing this now. There was already a precedent for a president to fall because it turned out that Delta soldiers had died in a CIA operation - Operation Eagle Claw

To be fair this tweet was one of the more useFUL ones. It clearly shows that any (!) discussion Trump administration has is not (!) with the current regime but rather the opposition.  This confirms statements and speculations from last week regarding the “we are in talks” - “no we are not” chitchat. It is also (!) a major sign for the market that nothing from the White House can be taken for granted and that any action on the market should consider the intentional misinformation. In the current situation we cannot expect any relaxation if White House simply is not acting with current government but rather opposing forces. We had the same with Venezuela already (where the government still is in power), can expect similar from Iran (where government might not change and retaliate harder) and for Cuba (which Trump has already announced). It’s basically CIA fanfiction on the large TV. I would highly suggest to reinstate the original post but rather lock the thread - so that we have atleast some kind of (verified) source in the future. Thanks.

Ever wonder why they chant that? It's because we fuck with them constantly. Iran used to be our strong ally during the 60's and 70's until the CIA decided they needed to control the world's destiny and aid in a coup and train up Iran's secret police. The shit we deal with from the Middle East is largely blowback from our own foreign policy and covert meddling in foreign affairs. Ironically Trump's stated foreign policy from the campaign trail of "we are not the world police" and "no new wars" was what we should have been doing all along.

Catman873

Yeah trumps only options at this point are to either end this on his own and find a way to spin defeat to his base, which is something he could definitely do. Or full on ground invasion. Iran is calling him over and over again. He has the same strategy; Move troops into position while “negotiating” as a scare tactic, when you don’t do what he wants you to do he either builds those troops or sends them in. Doing this over and over again gives Iran time to build their defenses and just drag the negotiations out. You don’t position ground troops while actively negotiating because it gives the other country time to build defenses and prepare a plan. I hate to say it because Russia, but you kind of do what Russia did and place your troops and then just fucking do it. The fact the trump admin is doing shit as they go tells me they have no real plan. If I know that then I’d assume the Iranians know too. What did trump tell Zelenskyy? “You don’t have the cards!”. Yeah, trump doesn’t have the cards here. Iran will not open up that strait and it’s already causing global ramifications that won’t just go away if we leave. France just declared an energy crisis and they’re saying that 30% - 40% of Gulf energy infrastructure has been destroyed or damaged. Pair that with the closing of the strait and the global energy supply will be not doing good even if we leave now. This entire “concept of a plan” was fucking stupid. The joint chiefs knew it and the fucking CIA. When the CIA, the kings of overthrowing foreign governments, tells you this is a bad idea, you should really listen to them. All we’ve done is cause a global energy crisis, force our allies to buy more energy from Russia even though Russia is actively invading their neighbor. We’ve separated ourselves further from NATO. We have dead US Service members, hundreds wounded, and the new supreme leader of Iran is the SON of the guy we killed. We just guaranteed Iran will be an enemy for the foreseeable future. Not to mention our allies and countries we’ve been trying to strengthen relations with have zero reason to trust us and may back out of future talks because We The People of the United States are bipolar af. The US voters dug their geopolitical grave and now they’re going to have to lay in it. They wanted a guy who would “dismantle the status quo” and I guess in a way he’s done that, only it’s not exactly panning out the way they thought it would.

blacksheepaz

The question of which specific heads were in charge is not that significant. One of the main reasons for the success of the 9/11 plot was the CIA’s failure to disclose to the FBI the entry into the U.S. of several of the hijackers around 18 months before the attack, which was based on a longstanding tradition called “the wall” by which the agencies would stonewall each other for various reasons. One of the main reasons was that information disclosed to the FBI would be considered fair game for criminal prosecution, and thus be subject to being made public. The book “The Looming Tower” by Lawrence Wright does a good job of explaining this.

DisaffectedLShaw

My step dad was struggling to understand why Ali Khamenei wasn’t in some secure bunker as the Russian’s had hacked the Iran traffic camera network and told them that they can see the CIA and Isreal both had hacked them as well. I had to explain that Khamenei was like “if it’s my time it’s Allah’s will”. They have managed to make even the most liberal areas of Iran support the current government. I mean every country will tend to support their leader when under attack, but Iran’s one will happy die and become martyred.

I wasn’t calling you a trump supporter, none of that was related to my point. Think of it like this, MAGA hardliners are entirely delusional, so we can compare it to this. Imagine someone is developing schizophrenia, and is actively seeing a doctor about it. Then, someone out of nowhere starts convincing them that therapy is somehow harmful. They tell them the voices are real, the government and gangstalkers are surveilling them, and their neighbor is a CIA plant. Even if that person was making progress, albeit slowly, that progress can be erased very quickly. MAGA is a movement born out of paranoia of some spooky “deep state” skapegoats, and decades of conspiracies that are about putting conservatives/white people into camps. [I’m serious](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FEMA_camps_conspiracy_theory). So, imagine the above situation is changed around to reflect on its similarities. A MAGA hardliner has been watching trump royally fuck up the economy and foreign relations. A lot of those people are being pushed back into considering centrism by the incompetence of Trump. Just like the schizo, they’re making progress over time. Then, someone comes in and posts about how they want that MAGA supporter to be in camps, and you remember the FEMA conspiracy. It would serve as a progress reset button, it makes it so MAGA people are hard to pull out of MAGA, and the only real way is over a long time. Then you validate their delusion. They will just go further right.

Simply that the head of intelligence, CIA, FBI, etc. would have been different people under Gore who may have picked up on the plot. I also recall hearing that warnings of an attack occurred prior to 9/11. Again, there it's purely conjecture but certainly a possibility, hence the maybe.

It was a CIA/MI6 joint operation to coup their prime minister and reinstall the Shah* But still, attacking their Muslim neighbors(and the US bases they host) was purely to cause financial pain (not that they all get along great anyway). I wouldn’t insult their IQ, the regime has tons of leadership with PhDs and they are a highly educated people(more-so before the revolution, but they aren’t animals). I sold 127 SPY shares into the AH pump today to exit at a minuscule profit, but I want to have cash for tomorrow because I think we’re gonna see 630.

I don’t give a shit about upvotes. How are you advocating for liberation of the Iranian people, when the vast minority of Iranians are rallying in opposition of the massive destruction of their country and the murder of their people right now? This isn’t about Trump. This is about Israel and its murderous extremist agenda. Iran posed no threat to us and there is no justification for this war. Stop regurgitating propaganda. What happened in January was incited by CIA/Mossad. Hundreds of police officers, volunteers, and civilians were killed because of the rioters. All the names of the people who died in the riots were released. The propagandists claiming 40k people were killed have released no evidence as with all the Zionist media claims to support their evil agendas.

In the dirty Bush war era the insider oil and banker boys would profit huge off info. All were Republicans and a special few had info from CIA linked sources. Never thought we'd see worse corruption than that but here we are. And have been.

Its gonna have to be the mother of them all this time. The CIA gonna have to go hard for a week or 2 til we forget on our own

If i were the CIA i would try to spread the idea into Islam that using AI is against Allah's will

CIA can work with Russia to Maduro Trump, and Vance can just say “Thank You” to them in a suit

Gotta say, it would be great to see more of that energy against the NSA and CIA, which have been doing all the same shit as palantir for decades

Mike Walz sent a tweet saying mossad was there. Mossad tweeted it out too. Even if they didn’t say anything I would still assume CIA and Mossad were involved.

ThermalChaser

I mean mossad was tweeting it out. Imagine the CIA tweeting out "we just sniped JFK"

DGB31988

It’s probably a good way for the CIA to launder money that they can funnel to black projects.

Garbage-Disposal-938

I could push back by saying something like: "I truly believe the CIA and Mossad provided guns and starlink terminals to their assets in Iran during the protests with the intent of changing the protests into a violent revolution. Those assets murdered police in Tehran and shot indiscriminately into the crowds of innocent Iranian protesters. Many of the deaths were caused by these foreign backed, armed agitators. The Iranian government tried to get control of the situation and I truly believe it was not the government's intent to kill people." that's the kind of conversation this is

Just "Maduro" Bibbi up, I'm sure he has some cocaine in his possession, and if not the CIA can plant some.

Loose_Stool_12

The CIA has been accused of forcing detainees to use Copilot as a form of torture.

Samjabr

you are 100% correct. If you've seen Sicario and wondered why some of these hard-core killers look like accountants... Those not in the know think SEALs are the pinnacle. Those a little more in the know admit DELTA are the alphas - (After all, they recruit directly from the Green Berets, SPEC OPS, **AND** the SEALs) But the true APEX predator is the CIA paramilitary accountant - Those in the know, know it's better not to know, lest they come find you https://preview.redd.it/2so5apmyq0rg1.png?width=3066&format=png&auto=webp&s=fa2fcbdb6a0db331f2bf402954423229fd66e101

The guy he talked to in iran was definitely a CIA agent with major bets in

Ill_Ground_1572

And don't forget, Iran has been preparing for this since the 90s. Although I would love to see Iran as a democracy (they are very generally advanced people with a rich history), Iran was always considered a major opponent given its massive size, 90 million people, it's geography (mountains, dessert and ocean) and strategic planning. And this is the perfect example of the problems that arise when the president surrounds himself with incompetent synchophants. They do stupid fucking shit. And Iran literally has the fire power to wipe out most of the GCC infrastructure. If they target desalination plants, we would have a major humanitarian crisis as most cities can't survive more than days. And if Trump is dumb enough to put boots on the ground, it's going to get messy. Especially on Kharg Island. And in that clip is also Scott Ritter former CIA who played a central role in Iraq...he is even 10x more critical of the US attack than the Iranian professor lol. Though Ritter has a very checkered history.

Key_Journalist_3698

The Guardian ran this piece claiming that there are in fact back channel chats between Iran and Pakistan and Egypt, who are in turn talking to the US. But its most likely just planted propaganda by the Guardians CIA handlers [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/23/surprise-us-talks-with-irans-fractured-leadership-offer-uncertain-path-out-of-conflict](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/23/surprise-us-talks-with-irans-fractured-leadership-offer-uncertain-path-out-of-conflict)

Wait are we talking about the CIA reestablishing their drug routes to America….?

Esoldier22

MEF isn't really as significant as people seem to think. They are primarily used as a RRF/QRF/IRF. I am assuming they are being sent to be able to respond to possible threats against US bases in the region. They could possibly be used for special limited ground operations. But ~5,000 marines is nowhere near the invasion force people seem to claim it is. Just for comparisons - Our invasion force for Iraq in 2003 was roughly 160,000 US Troops + about 100,000 allied troops. Our invasion force for Iraq in 1990 was roughly 500,000. Our invasion force for Panama in 1988 was roughly 26,000 and we already had military personnel stationed there. Not saying it won't get to that point, we're just very very far away still. We did invade Afghanistan with only about 2,000 personnel but it was much more of a special operations/CIA working with groups already established inside of Afghanistan. Even a regime change operation would need significant US personnel because there aren't already-established militant groups like there were on Afghanistan.

WashU_labrat

If they have classified information, then I'm sure the CIA and FBI will be very initerested.

ResplendentSmoke

They do, but it’s a well-documented fact that the older guys that were in leadership before the war, like Khamenei and Larinjani were moderating forces. They were the people who wanted to negotiate, they were the people who consistently sought off-ramps whenever conflicts would flare up with the West. The CIA’s own assessment that leaked like 2 days before the war started stated that decapitation strikes wouldn’t work, because the guys waiting to fill those roles were ideological hardliners. Guys who are more willing to say “Well, we’ll eat the airstrikes and a few thousand dead in Tehran for now if it means we can inflict enough pain on the West that they never try this again.”

ResplendentSmoke

I agree with you on most of this, but it’s a documented fact that the leadership that has been assassinated like the previous Ayatollah and Ali Larijani were moderating forces who, in the past flare ups, have been the ones to consistently take the off-ramps and deescalate. Like hitting pre-arranged spots with warning to the US in advance. They’re the ones who push for negotiations, they’re the ones who instituted the fatwa against building a nuclear weapon. I agree with you that Israel is the belligerent aggressor. Israel knows the previous leaders were the moderates, and knows the subordinate commanders are much more hardline. Which is why they assassinated all the people who’d be more willing to negotiate and de-escalate. Because they want this to spiral out of control to the point the US has no option but to commit fully. I agree that Iran has no choice but self-defense. I think the surviving leadership of the IRGC being more hardline and zealous is a large reason *why* they’ve been willing to take unprecedented steps in that defense like closing the Strait. I think Khamenei would’ve tried to find an de-escalation point by now. Because again, it’s been widely reported both in Western press that the IRGC guys in charge now are more zealous than they were before. This was the assessment of the CIA before the war even started and why they were advising against any decapitation strikes. Clearly they lost that internal battle and that’s why they leaked their assessment to the Wall Street Journal like 2 days before the first strikes. Of course they don’t *want* to die. I never said they did. But the truth is that being martyred by the West in a righteous war of defense is how they’d probably *choose* to die if they had to. Which is why it’s going to be very hard to negotiate with them. The threat is existential and they have nothing to lose.

fnaciaman

Oh right when Mossad and CIA backed militias entered Iran with full military kits and started firefights in the streets. Many of the dead people were police. If you believe that 30k number I bet you also still believe the Gaza death tolls are just shy of 50k. Even the young liberal Iranians know this is bullshit.

exegenes1s

There were no tens of thousands who died, that was blasted from Israeli media to try and drum up a causus belli for this unprovoked war that we now know was coming. Definitely people died, but there were CIA/Mossad provocateurs.

gamusils

Iran contacted CIA to come to a negotiation table.

Why hasn't the CIA done the same thing they did to JFK already?

Hamas was originally founded as an Islamic resistance movement against unjust Israeli occupation in Palestine. The region has a long history of corruption and violence, so naturally all of the groups that became "popular" for liberation were militant groups. Iran has it's own problems. The USA led a CIA-backed coup to install the Shah in Iran to expand western influence in the region. In backfired horribly, as one could imagine, and in 1979 Iran was radicalized against western involvement including Israel. In both cases, the region would be better off today if Israel (and the USA, for that matter) just stopped meddling in affairs. Of course, Israel has been locked in a centuries old dispute over territory and religion. I find it to be counterproductive to point fingers at one side or the other for "who started it". That being said, Israel has only recently been committing straight up genocide in Gaza with reports suggesting over 70% of structures destroyed and the city is pretty much uninhabitable. Therefore, I stand by what I said. Israel has done far more harm to Gaza.

TraditionClassic1288

There were no protesters, for the first days, yes from the bazaars, working people but when it turned to violence,they all condemned it. You had people with guns shooting cops and protesters and burning more than 250 mosques while filming it. If it happened in the US it would be the same response against those foreign backed terrorists helped by the Mossad (even the Israeli government admitted it) and CIA, mike Pompeo admitted too….

modder9

Cry? I laugh at the failures of America and the Zionist project. Iran would be better off if the CIA hadn’t intervened in the 50’s. If you were iranian(you aren’t) you’d know that.
