      Ali Khamenei

      If the U.S. and overall Western Powers minded it’s own fkin business…

      The 1953 Iranian coup d’état, known in Iran as the 28 Mordad coup d’état (Persian: کودتای ۲۸ مرداد), was the U.S.- and British-instigated, Iranian army-led overthrow of the elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in favor of strengthening the monarchical rule of the shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, on 19 August 1953

      Isn’t that interesting? We fail to really investigate how something comes to fruition. But then again we rely on investigative journalists… who are owned by corporations who tell them what and how to report.

      Had the Western powers minded its business, Iran would have still been friendly and continued to incorporate Western values. But they learned their lesson, they swayed from the path and got burned. Not making that mistake again, eh?

        Yeah.

        Mosaddegh was overthrown in 1953 because of US and UK, and about 25 years later, Iran became an Islamic theocracy, which has lasted for about 45 years and seems will continue into its 6th decade.

        Well done, America-haters.
