Larry Johnson thinks Iran has been more sinned against than sinning, going back to the Iran-Iraq war which the US sponsored

This is worth half an hour of your time.

Johnson is former CIA, intelligent and trustworthy. He talks about the CIA attempt at a colour revolution in Iran in December 2025 and January 2026, like the one in Kiev in 2014.

From what Max Blumenthal and many others say, the people Iran killed were mostly assets of the CIA and Mossad but Western journalists believe the CIA story.

They display a sublime lack of scepticism which ill befits journalists, but you see this all the time with most things. I do not really understand it.

America calls Iran the world's biggest sponsor of terrorism but it's not true unless you are thinking of Hamas and Hezbollah attacking Israelis which is part of the Arab-Israel conflict.

Hamas and Hezbollah were certainly subsidised by Iran though Hamas was subsidised by Netanyahu too and he built it up to sideline Fatah. Hezbollah was created by Iran. Still, Hamas and Hezbollah are not Iranian proxies but Iranian allies.

The distinction is very important.

Larry Johnson says that America and Israel are much bigger sponsors of terrorism. He also repeats the story of the US backing Saddam's invasion of Iran which killed 3 million Iranians including 300,000 by chemical weapons.

My question. What is the killing of almost fifty Iranian leaders in what had been till that moment peacetime but terrorism?

This is a serious question, gentle reader.
