A former nationalistically minded army officer was aided and abetted by
so called democracy loving multi nationals to assume control ofIran so
that they could satisfy their economic lust and greed. However when he
dared to put the interests of his own people before the interests of
the multinationals, they falsely promised to support his opposition who
were western educated and influenced Iranian republicans. BUT those
multi nationals kicked the ladder out from under those republicans and
installed the last Shah of Iran just like his father before him.
They manipulated and milked him to the hilt and eventually discarded
and abandoned him in favor of Ayatollah Khomeini. The upshot was the
breakdown of the relationship between the Western countries and Iran.To
this day Iran is viewed by the Western media as a phariah state, it's
own civilian airline was shot down by the "leader of the democratic
world", America, who at the time refused to assist innocent civilian
victims. Some accounts even say Iranians could not go to rescue those
innocent, civilian victims because the US Navy, inside Iranian waters
would have shot them down as they had done before.
