The author of the piece is with the Center for Security Policy. Nothing to do with Hillary Clinton. Look at Gabbard’s own web page to see how she feels about Iran
From Gabbard's webpage...seems pretty clear eyed to me.
The history of the United States relationship with Iran is rooted in, and defined by, a decades-long policy of regime change, which began with the CIA-led overthrow of democratically-elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadeq in 1953 in order to keep U.S.-backed Mohammad Reza Shah in power. This ultimately sparked the 1979 Islamic Revolution which grew from strong opposition to years of U.S. interventionist policies in Iran and throughout the region. As Irans new anti-U.S. government took power, our threats of intervention grew and Iran started its nuclear program as a direct response to defend against the possibility of another U.S.-led intervention and regime change plot.
” Center for Security Policy”
A bunch of crazy wing nuts. And not because of their political point of view.
But because of their outrageous exaggerations and, sometimes, fabrications.
