They need to do what they need to do without outside interference. We've done enough damage.
Absolutely.

A US Military Base in a Middle Eastern country says a lot more than a Embassy does. One would have to understand tribalism in order to understand why.

Good for Trump to broadcast their struggle, hope he has more covert help in progress.


Internal uprising is our only hope in these countries like Iran and its partner NK.


Strike while the iron is hot! It would be a colossal disaster to not help the Iranian people who are far more aligned with western culture than Iraq ever was.
Do you people ever read a newspaper, why do you continually just make things up as if no one will be able to find out the truth.

In his strongest comments since the crisis erupted 10 days ago, Mr. Obama used unambiguous language to assail the Iranian government during a news conference at the White House, calling himself “appalled and outraged by the threats, beatings and imprisonments of the past few days.”
He praised what he called the courage and dignity of the demonstrators, especially the women who have been marching, and said that he had watched the “heartbreaking” video of a 26-year-old Iranian woman whose last seconds of life were captured by video camera after she was shot on a Tehran street.

“While this loss is raw and extraordinarily painful,” he said, “we also know this: Those who stand up for justice are always on the right side of history.”

And yeah, Obama didn’t do much of anything positive in the Middle East either.
the goal has always been to keep the middle east divided and have oil traded in dollars

This looks like a step up from 2009, over 20 killed.

Will groups who attacked police violence against black people now attack the Iranian government for shooting "unarmed" people?

Because that’s ALWAYS been a smashing success.
Obama's leading from behind was also successful. </sarcasm>So much for a popular revolution.

Answer that!
I will.

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.

Maybe Trump lifts the immigration ban for Iran, he supports the Iranian people but just doesn't want them coming here.

Common sense to block people from a state that is the largest state sponsor of terrorism.

Well then common sense would lead you to Saudi Arabia, Iranians have not been responsible for any terror attacks on the US.
