Unfortunately in this situation it’s true. Look up “Iran in the 60s” on google, looks like many European countries. But the government decided the US couldn’t have any oil, so the CIA instigated a military coup against the government and helped put a US friendly dictator in place. That dictator and his government was weak, and the hyper hardcore Muslim government in power now moved in and seized power easily.

What about the British? Or the Russian empire? Go back far enough there will always be someone new to blame and to hate, instead of actually dealing with the in internal problems caused by a large portion of Iran that adheres to medieval thinking.

Ah so everything is their fault and so the US should somehow fix it for something that happened almost 75 years ago. Sounds like a plan.

I just answer to your comment about trying to deny the usa intervention in the 50’s that overthrown a government and lead to the Shah and after the mollah.

How did I ever deny their involvement??? read the comment. My point is that blaming the US/UK for all Irans problems is wrong and ignores some more fundamental problems with Iran. The same goes for much of the Middle East as well for that matter.

The Iranian people need to figure this out on their own without outside interference.

Oh yeah? Please explain why it was America's fault, and what concrete steps America should take.

I look forward to your thoughtful and nuanced explanation of geopolitics.
