  • I'm Iranian, and I was born after Iraq-Iran war. Since the iranians just finishing the mess in the revolution, damn Saddam invaded Iran. So just in a few years after the revolution, the people were so motivated to defend their country, and they did it well. To be honest, it was a war between Iran and a bunch of other countries supporting Saddam! Many innocent young people were killed; more than 360,000! some were voluntary involved, as young as 12...sad story anyways...

  • The CIA was able to put the Shah in power ...but they couldn't keep the Shah in power in 1978...that doesn't make any sense because if the CIA is all powerful and controls Iran..then why couldn't the CIA keep the Shah in power.

    And how was the CIA able to push out Mosadeq? but they couldn't push out Khomeini?...see none of this makes sense.

    Mosadeq was deposed because he had no support in iran...

  • where is the rest of this sir???
