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.
