The US regime has had bad relations with Iran since the Iranian people overthrew the shah, a US puppet, in the Iranian revolution in 1979, but the modern trade war and embargo against Iran began in 1995 under a democratic president, Clinton. US imperialism is a bipartisan policy.

Also, the US killed a million innocent people in Iraq, and dropped an average of 60 bombs per day on several countries in the ME and Africa during the Obama regime. Authoritarianism is a misnomer that makes it seem as though multi party bourgeois democracies ( IE capitalist dictatorships ) aren’t capable of the worst atrocities imaginable.
