Americans don't know the reasons Iran hates the US. In 1951 Iran's democracy elected Mohammed Mossadegh. The CIA & British intelligence staged a coup, installed a dictator who tortured and killed people.
It goes on from there.
It goes on from there.

"There is no better way to govern Iran than democracy and social justice!"
A statement associated with Iranian leader Dr Muhammad Mossadegh.
His words remain just as true today.
Dr Mossadegh was a great leader, overthrown by a British-American coup, orchestrated for the sake of oil!
For shame!

There’s a pretty robust case to make that the Iran Hostage crisis of 1979, the revolution itself, and the policies of the Iranian government towards the US
since, was all blowback from the CIA’s decision to overthrow Mossadegh in 1953. www.cnn.com/2013/08/19/p...

Roots of the current crisis:
Iran, 1953.
CIA fomented a coup against Mohammed Mossadegh, the legitimately elected President.
Mossadegh’s “crime”?
Nationalizing the foreign owned oil companies that were pumping Iranian oil.
If you know no history, everything is a mystery.

Si Reino Unido y EE. UU. se hubieran abstenido de meter las zarpas en Irán para derrocar a Mossadegh, hoy tendríamos una actualidad distinta y muy probablemente menos asquerosa. Mossadegh nacionalizó el petróleo de SU país y le montaron un bonito golpe de estado.

Há 72 anos, Mohammad Mossadegh, o primeiro-ministro democraticamente eleito do Irã, era deposto por um golpe arquitetado pela CIA. A quartelada ocorreu dois anos após Mossadegh nacionalizar o petróleo iraniano. Leia mais no @operamundi.bsky.social

this was, basically, the driver of the Anglo-American coup against Mossadegh in Iran in 1952. The president didn't just tweet it out though.
Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

It’s 1953. Iran looked like any Western country
Rock’n’roll, open universities.
They elect a secular socialist: Mossadegh.
He nationalizes oil. That pisses off BP.
CIA & MI6 stage a coup
Mossadegh overthrown
They install the Shah, a brutal US-backed dictator.
Secret police. Torture chambers. etc.

I'm old enough to have learned that CIA backed removal of democratically elected Iranian President Mossadegh bc that's what Oil Co's wanted, and we installed Shah who controlled population through vicious secret police (savak) also w/ CIA/Mossad.

Two good books I can recommend that deal with the 1953 coup overthrowing Mossadegh with the rich complexity it deserves, instead of reducing it to a cartoon or morality play: www.amazon.com/Patriot-Pers...
