US Congressman Criticizes Trump’s Iran Threat, Cites Oil and Israel as Motives
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, US Representative Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, has criticized President Donald Trump’s recent threat to intervene in Iran’s internal affairs. Massie argued that Trump’s stance is less about supporting free speech and more about oil and Israel.
Trump, in a social media post, warned that the US would act if Iran violently suppressed protesters. This statement came despite Trump’s own controversial response to domestic protests in the US, where an AI-generated video depicted him bombing demonstrators with a ‘brown liquid’ from a fighter jet.
Massie outlined his criticisms in a numbered list on social media platform X, emphasizing that the country faces numerous domestic issues and should not allocate military resources to another nation’s internal matters. He also noted that any military action against Iran requires congressional approval.
Massie stated, ‘This threat isn’t about free speech in Iran; it’s about the dollar, oil, and Israel.’
Recent days have seen US and Zionist regime-affiliated elements exploit legitimate, peaceful protests in Iran, damaging public property. Trump’s overt support for these agitators violates international law.
