Actually arming rebels is how countries are freed. Its not the only way but it is one of the most common. Also Iran arms rebels so whats your point in highlighting the US support for rebel groups?

I think you're assuming way to much from my comment. I was pushing back on the idea that arming rebel group isnt how countries are freed not supporting what Trump is doing.
A violent takeover may not immediately lead to a "free" country but it does open the doors to change and from that change can come freedom. Or in a different perspective its not freedom its just to be free from that certain regime.

We should punctuate the difference between self-actualization and liberal colonization.
I'm not Iranian, Iran has no effect on my life, and I'm a pacifist.
Why would I compel someone to liberate themselves with a mistaken paternalism? It's irresponsible.

because the person funding isnt doing it out of the good of their heart. They have interests in removing the current government. The rebels also have interests in removing the current government. That is all its just two people working together on a common goal its not that deep.

Since Iran is clearly seeking to remove the U.S. government, is arming democratic factions a morally justifiable response?

The origin of the United States hinged on its rebellion being armed by the French monarchy.

which directly led in no small way to the overthrow of the French monarchy.
Perhaps US involvemet in arming rebels elsewhere might led to the downfall of the current US ruling class also?

Iran has been saying this about Israel and the USA since 1979 and has been arming/propping up Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, who have has similar language on their flags/in their charters.
They did that with Iraq, ISIS, they trying with Kurdistan..
I'm defending a theocracy, but this is not how countries are freed. And he is clearly claiming to take the oil, destroy their infrastructure and take the country to the dark ages. If Iranian government was saying that, hell would go lose.
