A very small look at the history of Iran.


Reza Khan declares Iran a neutral power during World War II, Iran's British-controlled oil interests are largely maintained by German engineers and technicians, and Khan refuses to expel German citizens despite a request by Britain. In September 1941, following British and Soviet occupation of western Iran, Reza Shah is forced out of power. His son, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, succeeds him on the throne.

Nationalist Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadeq attempts to nationalize the British-owned oil industry. The shah opposes Mossadeq and removes him from power, but he regains power and the shah leaves Iran. This is a victory for the people of Iran and democracy.

The shah returns to Iran when Gen. Fazlollah Zahedi -- with backing from the Central Intelligence Agency -- overthrows Mossadeq in an August coup d'etat. This is a victory for the oil companies with help from the CIA.

In 1957, according to the Federation of American Scientists, U.S. and Israeli intelligence officer’s work with Iran to set up SAVAK, an Iranian intelligence organization later blamed for the torture and execution of thousands of political prisoners and violent suppression of dissent citizens. This is bad for the citizens of Iran.

The shah implements "The White Revolution," an aggressive campaign of social and economic Westernization that is met with intense popular opposition. Popular nationalist Ayatollah Khomeini is arrested in one of many crackdowns on the shah's opponents. By the late 1960s the shah relies regularly on SAVAK to quell dissidence.

Iranians resort to rioting, mass demonstrations and strikes to protest the shah's authoritarian rule. In response, he enforces martial law. The shah is forced to flee the country.

I could go on and on but the point I am trying to make clear is that the western governments have been interfering in this and other Islamic countries for years resulting in torture and death. All done in the name of OIL. This is why they hate us Sean Hannity and FOX news. Remember we armed both sides in the Iraq and Iran war that resulted in the loss of a Million people. When will we learn?

Even now we have attacked two countries in this region and still have boots on the ground. If I was Iran I would want a nebular bomb too. They are the world’s largest sponsor of terrorism and a lot of it is our fault. We helped create the modern Iran.
