It is unfortunate, and puzzling that Dr. Milani has decided to embrace historical revisionism in his latest article, which claims "everything you know about U.S. involvement in Iran is wrong".

Their Myths—and Ours: A Response to Abbas Milani's "The Great Satan Myth"
Great panel discussion. One issue, however, seems to never fully resolve itself. There's an undue emphasis on America's involvement in the 53' coup, with no mention of the 27+ years of forced dictatorial rule that followed it.
It's as if the coup were merely an aberration, rather than beginning of Iran's long national nightmare. It's no accident that the nearly three decades of the Shah's iron-fisted, undemocratic rule continue to go unmentioned in Ambassador Burns' lopsided US-Iran narrative.
Moscow and Beijing advise and back the Islamic Republic, Ahmadinejad and his IRGC economic structure. They will not favor a capitulation by the military or the IRGC.
