If the U.S. and overall Western Powers minded it’s own fkin business…
The 1953 Iranian coup d’état, known in Iran as the 28 Mordad coup d’état (Persian: کودتای ۲۸ مرداد), was the U.S.- and British-instigated, Iranian army-led overthrow of the elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in favor of strengthening the monarchical rule of the shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, on 19 August 1953
Isn’t that interesting? We fail to really investigate how something comes to fruition. But then again we rely on investigative journalists… who are owned by corporations who tell them what and how to report.
Had the Western powers minded its business, Iran would have still been friendly and continued to incorporate Western values. But they learned their lesson, they swayed from the path and got burned. Not making that mistake again, eh?
Mosaddegh was overthrown in 1953 because of US and UK, and about 25 years later, Iran became an Islamic theocracy, which has lasted for about 45 years and seems will continue into its 6th decade.
In 2016, the BBC published a report which stated that the administration of United States President Jimmy Carter (1977–1981) had extensive contact with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and his entourage in the prelude to the Iranian Revolution of 1979. The report was based on “newly declassified US diplomatic cables”. According to the report, as mentioned by The Guardian, Khomeini “went to great lengths to ensure the Americans would not jeopardise his plans to return to Iran - and even personally wrote to US officials” and assured them not to worry about their interests in Iran, particularly oil. According to the report, in turn, Carter and his administration helped Khomeini and made sure that the Imperial Iranian army would not launch a military coup.
Is Ali Khamenei on the right side of history?
