The oil resources were stolen from multinational oil companies. The U.S. could have at least allowed terror victims with valid court judgments to collect from the money before returning it. In law the rights of creditors always come before the rights of owners, especially fake owners.
Multinationals were stealing from Iran with the Shah’s blessing.

Stop putting black folks into this.

What happens in Iran is the business of Iranians. The United States needs to shut the hell up and observe. This isn’t the time to show an American hand in Iranian affairs.

Do you folks EVER learn?

Are the opposition media protecting the Obama legacy when it comes to Iran? Why wouldn't the Leftists applaud this quest for freedom like they did the Arab Spring? Why do they support gays who are killed in Iran? Trump is offering encouragement to the protesters who are being killed and suffering.

Common sense to block people from a state that is the largest state sponsor of terrorism.
Saudi Arabia as a state wouldn't consciously dump their scum on us; Iran would.

This protest doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon, thousands arrested even in areas that support the government. I don't know if this will be successful but it sure got their attention.

I lost my focus when they said that Roosevelt entered Iran under a fake name. The Mossadegh contretemps were in 1953; Roosevelt went to his designated place in hell in April 1945.

I guess they might refer to Kermit Roosevelt Jr., grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt.

Meanwhile, some scientists blame the Iranian protests on climate change. https://twitter.com/sciam/status/950413897860870145

How do you know what the Saudis would do?

Your beef with Iran is over Israel, not the United States.
