> We definitely throw our weight around and interfere with Iran's domestic affairs. But this is definitely a case of "we think our morals are better than yours" (and we have bigger guns so we're gonna enforce those morals). While I'm not privy to US policy-making, it seems that if morality is involved, it's only by accident. US policy is about protecting US interests, and as such, is primarily motivated by greed, fear and often expansionism. The well-being of non-Americans is completely irrelevant. This is no different in essence from many other countries, who similarly brandish morality as a shield when it's convenient. The difference is that the US is more interventionist than most, and has the biggest stick.
