  "textContent": "In 1954, the CIA wrote a classified report about Iran and coined a word: blowback. Then they filed the warning in a vault and spent seventy-two years proving it right.\n\nThis video traces the 72-year paper trail from the 1953 coup against Mossadegh to Operation Epic Fury. How a peace deal was on the table the day the president ordered strikes. Why the Strait of Hormuz broke the global economy. What $20,000 drones do to $4 million missiles. Who made $580 million in oil futures fifteen minutes before a presidential tweet. And what any of us can actually do about it.\n\n**SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATIONS MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO:**\n\nBellingcat (open-source investigations): https://www.bellingcat.com/donate/\n\nHengaw Organization for Human Rights (Kurdish human rights, casualty documentation): https://hengaw.net/en\n\nNetBlocks (internet shutdown monitoring): https://netblocks.org\n\nNational Network Opposing the Militarization of Youth (military recruiter opt-out info): https://nnomy.org\n\n**SCREENED INVESTMENT FUNDS MENTIONED:** Sphere 500 Fossil-Free ETF Green Century Funds: https://greencentury.com",
