How do you figure that? The iranian monarchy was in place for over 50 years, until 1979.You are in the ball park. It is the same story as many other places before. The sad part was that Iran was really pro western standard in the 1950's.Very informative, but I didn't really want to read anything that lengthy and detailed. It's good to have the sources of your statements, though.ANGLO-PERSIAN OIL COMPANY – Encyclopaedia IranicaWhy did we do that, Tijn Von Ingersleben ?Iran would not be threatening death to America if we hadn't funded a coup against Mohammad Mossadegh in the 1950's to re-install the Shah.Well duhhh, Iran has been starting and causing and threatening death to America since the Shah days. I will take their word for it, OK?
Iran would not be chanting death to America if we hadn't (CIA), along with Mossad helped form and train the Savak to suppress their religious leaders and torture/imprison thousands of citizens.
Iran hates us because they TRIED to be Democratic and do it the western way and we fucked them.
So, short answer, to my question "Why?" - Oil for the U.S. Iran was declaring its independence from Britain, and was wanting to do what it pleased with its own resources (oil). Britain AND America said no way. The leader we deposed must have been a nationalist unwilling to play ball. After the new leader was installed, America received 40% of Iran's oil.
Do I have that right, Tijn Von Ingersleben ? I skimmed.
Almost ALL of these problems in the middle east are the result of western and Israeli meddling.
