My Persian Brothers.

Iam a Greek and Belive when I say this... If there ever was a war against your Great Civilization, I WOULD STAND SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH MY PERSIAN BROTHERS AGAINST THESE BARBARIAN PIGS.

LONG LIVE OUR CULTURES,

LONG LIVE OUR FRIENDSHIP.

PERSIA AND HELLAS, TWO PATRIOTIC COUNTRIES.

The people that helped the Pahlavi Dynasty to fall in favor of the Islamic Revolution are probably still regretting their actions.

Look how was Iran back then and how is now. It's so sad...

@rockyrules1 - My Greek brother I'm a Persian & I'm with you. :)

There would not have been an Iranian revolution if the Shah had not been reinstalled by the British and Americans after they overthrew Mossadeq. Ironically Mossadeq is now considered a moderate, at the time, the West was saying he was a "secret Communist" because he nationalized the oil industry. Never mind Britain had just nationalized its own industries.

The days of pride! Javid Shah! Javid Shahbanou!

Plus if you look at things from Britain's point of view, it would make no sense for them to support Khomeini, Khomeini didn't do shit for them. BP no longer controlled Iran's oil wells, if anything the British LOST influence thanks to him.

I know it's very tempting to blame everyone but yourselves, claim the revolution was a British coup, etc.

But the fact is no "coup" could involve millions of people protesting, if that's the case, the current protest can also be a coup. Fact trumps fantasy.

If Pahlavi had the guts to make his own decisions instead of relying on Carter to "take care of him", there would be no revolution and no Islamic Republic.

All you Pahlavi supporters blindly say "oh no it was all Carter's fault" well get your frickin' act together then! Pahlavi didn't have to listen to Carter, didn't he make Iran "independent" because of oil? I guess not, if he was still taking orders from America.

Sheesh! Stop worshiping the man, he was only human and had his own interests.

crizl, you have no clue what you are talking about. and you took months to post your lame response.

Pahlavi was beholden to foreigners, not Khomeini. Khomeini did whatever he wanted, I'm not saying it was good, but he wasn't relying on American and British advisors like the shah was.

Pahlavi remarked after he got overthrown that he should have NEVER listened to these American advisors like George Ball and other guys working for Carter and Brzezinski. He couldn't make his own decisions.

[crizl2007]

indeed, I agree.

[lordevarts]

that's an opinion only, that it is means of showing the respect to speak in mild tone before the tomb of kurosh. honestly speaking he sounded a man of high pride in this speech.

Shut up! It seems like you one of missinformed fellow, even though you allegedly proclaim yourself as a direct descendant of Cyrus...you mean Kuroush. That word of "PUPPET" was first used in public media by KHOMEINI. The shah was trying to kick out foreigners...the same foregners who helped bring KHOMEINI to Iran and make our country a living hell. You might be a descendant of Kuroush, but I am descendant of someone who worked with Shah and knew him better then the foreign cursed media.
