I was blistening to some history between Iran and USA.
Andrew Gause was speaking.

In 1957 US Bureau of Engraving gave the Shah of Iran a currency printing press, set it up, calibrated it and everything. The high quality inks and paper, too.
When Jimminy Cotta's disastrous Foreign Policy caused The Shah to flee, he left all this behind.
The terrorist regime took over.
In the 1980's, the East German Communists gave some $100 printing plates to Iran.
The fake $100s started flying out of the Bekkea Valley, and spread by Communists across the globe. These became known as "Superdollars" or "Superbills" because US Treasury could not identify which were counterfeit or real.
Around 1996 new versions of $100s were designed and introduced. Slick Willy decided to validate all of the counterfeits by trading all old 100s, whether real or fake, with the new, higher security bills.
But the printing plates have never been recovered. Some conspiracies say that is the real reason we are invading Middle East countries - searching for the plates. We still keep finding millions of 100s, but not the plates.

And then of course, Obama sent them planeloads of pallets of $100 bills.

Of all the sentences you wrote, this one is particularly wrong:

Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi left Iran on January 16,1979, because a massive, widespread popular revolution made his rule impossible. Years of strict authoritarian control, anger over rapid Westernization, human rights abuses by his secret police, and economic inequality united religious leaders, liberals, and workers against him.

Causes of the Revolution

• Political Repression: The Shah used his secret police force, SAVAK, to silence and torture political opponents.

• Cultural Backlash: His aggressive push to secularize and Westernize Iran angered traditional and religious groups who followed figures like Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

• Economic Strain: Rapid modernization and inflation from uneven oil wealth caused severe economic suffering for ordinary citizens.

The Final Exit

• Mass Protests: By late 1978, strikes and massive protests paralyzed the Country.

• Loss of Foreign Support: Realizing the monarchy could not be saved, Western allies withdrew their backing during the Guadeloupe Conference.

• Exile: Facing an escalating civil crisis and mutinies within the military, the Shah officially departed for what was called a "vacation," allowing the Ayatollah Khomeini to return and establish an Islamic Republic.

The Shah had cancer, which is why he was too weak to hold power and so easily booted out of his own country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Reza_Pahlavi#Black_Friday_massa

‘It’s Real, I’m Not Speculating’: Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims US Discussing Nuclear Strike On Iran

She urged Americans to oppose the use of nuclear weapons and called for an end to the war.

or-greene-claims-us-discussing-nuclear-strike-on-iran-ws-l-10276836.html

Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene @FmrRepMTG tweeted:

Quote:
They are discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings.

Yes you read that correctly. It’s real. I’m not speculating, I know.

And it’s pure evil.

What US Intelligence Has Said About Iran

US intelligence assessments have previously distinguished between Iran’s nuclear capabilities and an active nuclear weapons programme. In its 2025 Annual Threat Assessment, the US intelligence community assessed that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon and that then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had not reauthorised the nuclear weapons programme he suspended in 2003.

The 2026 Annual Threat Assessment said that, before Operation Epic Fury, Iran had been pursuing increasingly capable missile systems and had refused to comply with its nuclear obligations to the IAEA, including by denying access to key nuclear facilities. The assessment said US intelligence was monitoring Iran’s WMD-related capabilities and actions following the start of Operation Epic Fury.

In March, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Iran’s nuclear enrichment programme had been “obliterated" and that US intelligence continued to monitor whether Iran’s current or future leadership would authorise a nuclear weapons programme.

Greene Cites Hiroshima And Nagasaki

In her post, Greene invoked the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and warned of the humanitarian consequences of any future nuclear attack.

“The last time a nuclear weapon was used was August 6th and 9th of, 1945, on two cities in Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, immediately killing 110,000 people, vaporising people at ground zero, and total deaths reached 214,000 by the end of the year from severe burns and trauma. But the extreme suffering continued for the Japanese people from radiation sickness, skyrocketing cancer rates, and generational birth defects," she said.

“Not to mention wiping out all means of their economy. And the suffering was so great that all of humanity vowed, “never again", she added.

‘Iran Is Only Weeks Away’

Greene also accused the Trump administration of disregarding US intelligence assessments about Iran’s nuclear programme.

“Trump and his admin were told by our own intelligence that Iran was nowhere near creating a nuclear weapon, then Israel said the same line it’s repeated for decades, ‘Iran is only weeks away,’" Greene wrote.

Greene went on to criticise the US military campaign against Iran, claiming: “So we bombed anyways, killed their leaders and innocent little children in a school, and Iran has controlled the Strait of Hormuz ever since and punished the region for their part in it."

She also questioned President Donald Trump’s repeated claims about the conflict and the Strait of Hormuz.

“Trump promised no more foreign wars, but may actually be the one who delivers a nuclear holocaust that would likely drag the entire world into major conflict, economic depression, and mass human suffering we’ve never seen in our lifetimes and maybe throughout history," she wrote.

Greene concluded by urging Americans to oppose any move towards using nuclear weapons.

“People need to speak out and boldly stop this insanity. America is not untouchable," she said. “If and when that happens, everyone, and I do mean everyone, will hold ALL of those in leadership right now fully responsible for the rest of human history."

“Do not use nuclear weapons and stop this war NOW," Greene added.

Her comments come amid continuing tensions between Washington and Tehran. However, Greene’s claim that US officials are actively discussing the use of nuclear weapons against Iran remains an allegation and has not been independently confirmed.
