you should probably take a second look at what i wrote and at the washington post article. First, i did not say that the US doesn't support anti-Iranian groups. Second, i said that i doubt that the US supports groups that are purposefully killing civilians. Third, that article doesn't state that the US supports that group in any missions against Iran (or where the group kills civilians - in other words, by supply weapons or money), only that it provides security to its compound within Iraq. Last, the article doesn't say that the group purposefully kills civilians. |
The CIA's covert operations in recent history, including Iran itself, doesn't exactly reflect that. In Iran, it included bombing mosques and school buses as false flag terrorism to further propagate the idea that Massadeq was pro-Communist and "anti-Islam," which wasn't the case but it worked enough to serve the process of installing the Shah who did not have Mossadeq's intention to nationalize Iran oil and deny a monopoly to British Petroleum. It wasn't an independent CIA op, because MI5 was involved as well. But training death squads in Nicaragua and El Salvador is a CIA op. All declassified.

. Plus, umm, perhaps you're forgetting something... but we don't need any fabricated stories to push anti-American sentiment anywhere in the world... you can thank our foreign policy for that
