Iran: 70-Year Regime Change Pipeline
mechanismIntelligence & Surveillance · Nations & Geopolitics · Defense & Military-Industrial
The war with Iran didn't come out of nowhere — the engine argues it was engineered step by step over 70 years, starting with a coup the US and Britain ran in 1953.
Who they are
A 70-year chain of US and allied actions toward Iran that the engine describes as a single regime-change pipeline.
What they do
It presents Iran policy not as a series of accidents but as a long, connected sequence that manufactured the very enemy it later fought.
How it works
It links the 1953 CIA/MI6 coup that installed the Shah (whose secret police made the 1979 revolution likely), the 1980s arming of both sides in the Iran-Iraq war, the 1996 'Clean Break' plan written by American advisors for an Israeli leader, the 2003 Iraq war that removed Iran's main rival, the 2018 nuclear-deal withdrawal, the 2020 Soleimani killing, and 2025-2026 strikes — presented as one continuous arc.
Why it matters
The engine's read is that the same apparatus built up an adversary over decades to justify a war it wanted, citing Iran-Contra as proof the state can secretly arm both sides at once.
The engine's record — word for word
The most telegraphed war in modern history. Ajax (1953, CIA/MI6 overthrew Mossadegh for nationalizing Anglo-Iranian Oil) manufactured the adversary by installing the Shah, whose SAVAK repression guaranteed the 1979 Islamic Revolution. October Surprise (1980, alleged Reagan-Bush deal to delay hostage release for election). Iran-Contra (1980s, US armed BOTH sides — Rumsfeld handshake with Saddam while selling missiles to Khomeini via Israeli intermediaries). Clean Break (1996, Perle/Feith/Wurmser wrote regime change blueprint FOR Netanyahu — Americans writing policy for a foreign PM). PNAC (2000, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor). Iraq War (2003, removed Irans primary rival — greatest strategic gift). JCPOA withdrawal (2018, FDD architected Maximum Pressure). Soleimani assassination (2020). Midnight Hammer (June 2025, B-2 + GBU-57 MOPs on Fordow/Natanz/Isfahan). Epic Fury (Feb 28 2026, Khamenei assassinated, 3000+ targets, $11.3B US cost). 70 years. One pipeline. The Technate built the adversary it needed to justify the war it wanted. **Report #87:** Iran-Contra empirically demonstrated the structural reality of the engine's existing Ouroboros Loop concept — US apparatus simultaneously arming both sides outside congressional oversight. The Iran-Contra pipeline + Wolfowitz/Perle/Wurmser Clean Break (1996) + PNAC (2000) + JCPOA withdrawal (2018) + Soleimani (2020) + Midnight Hammer (June 2025) + Epic Fury (Feb 2026) constitute kinetic expressions of an underlying architecture continuous between them — not discrete events. Defense-contractor beneficiaries trackable through FPDS/USAspending records show same-prime persistence across every Iran-related operation. [Live pass Jul 27 2026] Posthumous WSJ footage (filmmaker Alex Holder, 400+ hrs) shows the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (d. Jul 11 2026) calling his years-long Iran-war campaign 'the best thing I've ever done' and flying to sell MBS on the war — primary-source documentation of the war-production pipeline; at times he advocated beyond what Netanyahu supported.
