With a budget of 455 Million USD from the US tax payer, the United States has for over a decade licensed and injected capital into various propaganda channels from Satellite television that broadcast into Iran in order to cause a 'soft revolution', this so they can avoid bringing 'freedom' to Iran by military invasion which will be more expensive. The United States seeks the overthrow of Iran's Islamic Republic because of its strategic geographical and political situation. Iran staged a revolution thirty years ago to overthrow a US-client monarchy that ruled the country with a 30% literacy rate. Today Iran is no longer a US-client state, it builds technology by itself and more than 90% of the country is literate. More than 70% of university students are women. This in effect means that the US must increasingly find creative and innovative ways to cause disruption in Iran. In addition to its support for terror groups within Iran, such as bombing mosques their main priority is cost-driven. Satellite channels like Channel One broadcast from Los Angeles provide the long term solution to an ever growing power that will not bend for US policy and has even dared defy an empire.
