You said it literally never has - 1953 says otherwise.
In 1979, was it internal though? Khomeini was in France. The US propped up the Shah then took away support. The US could support a govt-in-exile.
If the Ayatollah wanted a nuke, he could get one. He knows doing so would immediately be the end of his country, so he only uses it as threat.

Well the 50s one was, no? And the US could’ve ended 1979, but decided not to step in.

But it’s happened twice in Iran. First the early 50s and again in 1979?

It could also lead to the overthrow of the regime.

Why are you being downvoted? Kerry and Obama literally sent a plane of cash over to Iran. Biden, and many of the corporate dems (Markey, Warren, etc.) want to negotiate with Iran to get the nuclear deal back on the table. Many Iranians in the US, I would presume the majority of which are liberal, support cutting all relations with the current Iranian govt.

I used to go to the BU one as a kid and it was a bit underwhelming, but fun nonetheless.
Fwiw, I see a used dob for $250 on Craigslist. They are a bit clunky, but easy to use and the hardware doesn't really age so you can sell it down the line.
