It is clear that the CIA and their Iranian assets collaborated closely with the Shah and Iran's most reactionary forces to force Mossadegh from office.

I mean, the whole thing is just crazy.

What is important to note is that after that in Iran, there was a deeply anti-Western sentiment among many Iranians.

Although it was only rumored at the time that the U.S.

was involved, Iranians were again, they were in the 50s, fed up with foreign influence, especially Western influence in their country.

Now here is where it gets really complicated.

because if you have been on social media recently like myself, I'm sure that you have seen all of these old photos and videos from the 1960s and 70s in Iran, you know, women in skirts with their hair showing, attending universities, young couples out at parties, on the beach, and people are posting this saying, you know, look what Iran used to look like.

This is what they're fighting for.

This is what Iran could look like again.

For example, Tommy Robinson posted this video.

and said, this is how Iran was, and this is how Iran will be once again, make Iran great again.

Another woman said, this was my mom and her mates in Iran before the Islamists, with the help of the communists and the diabolically dim-witted Jimmy Carter, took over the country, again saying, make Iran great again.

Now all of that is true.

Those are real photos, those are real videos, those are real experiences that people did have in Iran.

But the Shah, again, after the CIA involved him when they overthrew the government, he was not popular among all Iranians, in large part because of his secret police force called the SAVAK, hopefully I'm saying that correctly, that brutally suppressed dissent.

in Iran.

There was also massive wealth inequality, which led to great unrest with the students of Iran and the working and middle classes.

They also believed, once again, that their cultural identity as Iranians was being erased as the country became more and more Western and embedded with foreign influence.
