This conflict actually started over 40 years ago when Iran nationalized its oil industry. This action blocked US oil companies from accessing Iran's oil market. The US wants access to Iran's resources and control over its foreign policies, but Iran is not playing ball. Its an obstacle to US hegemonic ambitions. Since then, the US has been working to overthrow Iran's regime, and obviously it's still at it. Iran's leaders refer to America as "The Great Satan," but it's for good reason. The US propaganda machine (MSM) spins the narrative in its favor, painting Iran as a rogue state, spreading terrorism and chaos throughout the world. This is a standard ploy to misdirect attention away from the fact that the US is actually committing these crimes, not the other guy (Iran). Look at the recent US-backed coups in Venezuela, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Ukraine, and Afghanistan. Like Iran, these countries also owned resources the US coveted and also refused to play ball. The US orchestrated a regime change, although the attempt apparently has failed in Venezuela and Syria. Make no mistake. America's regime change wars have cost the lives of millions, yes millions, of innocents throughout the world. Well, I for one say, "STOP THIS MURDER!"
