Following the 1979 Revolution, U.S. sanctions expanded to cripple Iran’s economy, blocking oil, finance, medicine, and aviation parts.⁷ Framed as “maximum pressure,” this economic war harmed civilians, especially during COVID-19.⁸

2025: Airstrikes Without Evidence or Authorization

On June 22, 2025, the U.S. and Israel bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.⁹ Trump boasted online of the “very successful operation.”¹⁰ No evidence showed Iran violated the Non-Proliferation Treaty, nor was there international approval. Iran had been cooperating with the IAEA.¹¹ Once again, violence replaced diplomacy.

Conclusion: War as Policy

From economic strangulation to bombs, the West’s treatment of Iran is rooted in domination—not peace or nonproliferation. Iran’s real crime isn’t building a bomb, but resisting a global order forged through conquest.

So long as this aggression continues unchecked, the “rules-based international order” remains a fiction—where rules are set by the powerful and enforced with impunity.
