Whether it is terrorism is an orthogonal issue to whether it was done by the US Government.
That word really has lost all meaning.
Why would the situation be different if it turns out it was US government?
That's why we're having the whole Trump/Russia investigation after all.
Dulles brothers were very pro corporations and very very anti communist.
John foster Dulles that became secretary of state under Eisenhower after ww2 was pro Hitler at the beginning of war (before US involvement) as an ally against Soviets. US banks gave Hitler huge loans before the war that helped him to rebuild the economy.
The idea that a small country can challenge a corporation interest was something the Dulles brothers couldn't live with. The iran coup was the beginning. They used CIA to insure corporate interests anywhere in the world and they used communism as an excuse to do so.
Mossadegh was one of the most democratic leaders of the middle east at least. At the height of his power he refused to close communist newspapers that were attacking him. Can you imagine Trump having that power and not using it because of his belief in free speech?
Whua? Yes of course. That's about as anti-conservative as it gets. His base would revolt. Free speech is right up there with property rights. Maybe you are confusing hitting back against (mockingbird) propaganda with a desire to do that, but I assure you, nobody is going to be closing newspapers, and he wouldn't want to if he could. Note is's not the conservatives trying to shut down speakers on college campuses, or remove YT chans they disagree with, or axe FB accounts (like Diamond and Silk) because they don't like what they say.
