Trump can't even come up with his own bullshit, has to steal Putin's homework.
Also a reminder that while the Iranian regime is undeniably horrible, it is also the result of CIA and MI6 instigating (in 1953) a coup d'état against the government of Iran that had a democratic mandate, over oil:

Here's the Wikipedia page about the prime minister of that government, Mohammad Mosaddegh:

The coup made shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi an authoritarian monarch with US backing. His oppressive regime ended with the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
αxel simon ↙︎↙︎↙︎@rysiek yeah, the shah was horrible, the regime that took root after the revolution of 79 is horrible, and quite a few people now want Reza Pahlavi, the son of Mohamed Reza Pahlavi the last shah, to be the alternative.
It's hard not to have a bad feeling about that option.
