Exactly: CIA overthrew democratically elected Iranian President because he was nationalizing the oil industry. All the Near East coups and wars are about oil . US installed the Shah. Islamists overthrew US / Brit/ Oil Giants ( 7 Sisters ) puppet Shah . They took hostages from US embassy. Jimmy Carter sent a failed rescue attempt. <


Ever since then US had it in for Iran , which meshed with Israel’s needs. Saddam Hussein was a CIA asset in Iraq , to the extent that they got him to wage an 8 year war against Iran !


Later of course they turned on their asset because he tried to get control of oil in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia .


Hussein is an example of Henry Kissinger saying “ it’s dangerous to be a U.S. ally. “ Marcos in Philippines and Panama are other examples . US turned on them , too.
