US > Iran conflict begins

[Akar]

good point. I should probably specify that ----Iran is being actively bombed at for 40 days now.

There is a reason why there is a growing number of scholars with a staunch anti imperialist advocacy.

I think Ian was also referring to the era of the Shah of Persia and the Ayatollahs' rise to power through brute force. I might be wrong, but that’s how I interpreted it..


Clearly, we don't remember those who died during that coup; they are just the 'necessary price' for an illegitimate revolution. Not that the Shah was any better, but just look at the photos from before and after the Ayatollahs...

I was referring to CIA and MI5 fuckery.

Cheers,

Exactly. From the '53 Ajax fuckery to the '79 fallout, it's a long chain of events where the bill is always paid by the same people..
