@john_linnus@ChrisMartzWX@imstartingover1 You’re correct. The British were losing control over the Iranian oil and concocted a story that the Russians were going to take over Iran. The US believed it and overthrew the Iranian government
@john_linnus@ChrisMartzWX@imstartingover1 The CIA overthrew Mosaddegh in 1953, which brought Reza Pahlavi back in power. His regime (supported by the US) turned REALLY bad, which fomented anti-American sentiments, and ultimately the revolution in 1979
Not sure if the current population is as anti-American as before
@ChrisMartzWX@john_linnus@imstartingover1 They hate the US because our CIA helped overthrow their government and put (and kept) their Shah in power, who turned into a torturous dictator
