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?
