United States Muddled foreign policies 6/26/2025

                                     United States Muddled foreign policies

The United States’ foreign policy has long prioritized business interests over the well-being of other nations. We profit immensely by selling weapons, only to later spend billions trying to contain the chaos we've unleashed—often sending our own soldiers to die in wars that generate deep, lasting resentment.
Nowhere is this more evident than in Iran. In 1953, the U.S., with Britain’s MI6, overthrew Iran’s democratically elected government to seize control of its oil, installing the unpopular Shah. His brutal regime, backed by the U.S., fueled anti-American sentiment and ultimately led to the rise of Iran’s theocracy.
Ironically, it was also the U.S. that introduced Iran to nuclear technology. As part of President Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace” program, the U.S. shipped a reactor to Tehran in the 1960s and trained Iranian scientists. The goal was to promote peaceful nuclear energy, but it also sowed the seeds for Iran’s future weapons program. Even after the Shah fell, Iran expanded its nuclear capability—first with U.S. help, then with Pakistani centrifuges acquired on the black market.
We now find ourselves in a cycle of confrontation and bombing, confronting a crisis that we helped create. History warns us not to repeat these mistakes. Yet today, the U.S. is considering transferring nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia—another authoritarian regime with ambitions eerily similar to the Shah’s.
Have we learned nothing?
