No, I happen to know the war started in 1953 when the CIA overthrow Iran's legitimate government on behalf of Big Oil, and then installed the Shah, who robbed the country blind for the next 25 years, and imprisoned anyone who dissented.
When the Iranian people finally had enough and millions poured into the streets in a mass uprising in 1978, Jimmy Carter stupidly gave the brutal Shah sanctuary in the USA.....That's what provoked the student seizure of the US embassy, which could have been easily resolved had Carter sent the Shah back to Iran to face the justice he deserved, and met the students fair demand for an apology for the CIA coup. The so-called 47 year war on America never would have happened if the hard core cold warriors like Brzezinski had not so badly misled the hapless peanut farmer from Georgia.
