Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore torched the US as the “bad guys” in the war with Iran – while hailing the Middle Eastern nation as one of the world’s “greatest civilizations” in a deranged online tirade.
The documentarian unleashed the frenzied rant on Tuesday, calling President Trump a “terrorist” for threatening a “holocaust” after the commander in chief warned Iran that its “whole civilization” would be wiped out if the nation failed to cut a ceasefire deal to open the Strait of Hormuz and end the six-week conflict.
He also accused the US of “meddling” in Iran’s internal affairs for the past seven decades.
“Our leaders and our media are stupid enough to keep asking questions like ‘why do they hate us?’ Hate us?! They don’t hate US! WE HATE THEM!” Moore raged on his Substack.
“We’re the bad guys! If you didn’t realize that under previous presidents at least Donald Trump has ripped off the mask and shown you who we really are!”
The Oscar winner’s outburst came before Trump revealed he agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran.
Moore then blasted the US as the “only nation sick and violent enough” to use nuclear weapons, while bizarrely praising Tehran for building a diverse global power, advancing human rights, and leading the world on multiple fronts.
“Iran is the cradle of one of the greatest civilizations this planet has ever seen,” the “Fahrenheit 9/11” filmmaker wrote.
“While our ancestors in Europe were still figuring out how to build a hut, the Persians had already written the world’s first declaration of human rights, built a multicultural empire that treated conquered peoples with dignity, and were doing math and medicine that we wouldn’t catch up to for a thousand years.
“These are the people who gave us algebra, medicine, and the theme song to Game of Thrones. Despite harsh government crackdowns and censorship today, Iran still produces some of the world’s greatest filmmakers. America has been meddling with and attacking Iran since 1953.”
Moore called on the US military to disobey “illegal” and “immoral” orders, urged Congress to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth, and demanded the 25th Amendment be invoked to remove Trump from office.
“NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE US,” the progressive fumed. “WE MUST DO IT OURSELVES.”
Less than two hours before Trump’s 8 p.m. deadline Tuesday for Iran to reopen the strait – a vital trade route through which roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply flows – or face an all-out assault of its power plants and bridges, the president announced a “double sided” two-week ceasefire.
“I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks,” Trump wrote, adding that the deal was subject to the “COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz.”
“We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.”
