Iran: The Domination of a Minority Over a Diverse Society

The back-breaking U.S. sanctions impact the lower classes far more than the theocratic regime or the IRGC. The major problem in Iran is the domination of an ideological minority over a diverse society. While the regime pours resources into regional ambitions, domestic discontent grows, poverty, repression, and a generation that rejects the politicization of religion.

U.S. military aid to Israel has been used to support acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
