@breadandcircuses

they were a democracy till the US helped the British install a dictatorship in 1953 (see documentary). they only have an Islamic govt there as a reaction to that. and now that they are trying to get a nuclear power program up and running (which would let them become less reliant on fossil fuels), we refuse to believe they are not pursuing a bomb. ugh.

From Democracy Now!

“We look at the 70th anniversary of the August 19, 1953, U.S.- and U.K-backed coup in Iran, which took place two years after Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh nationalized Iran’s oil industry that had been controlled by the company now known as British Petroleum.”

Watching with my daughter before she starts her HS class on US foreign policy on Monday. Hoping she's not too hard on her teacher and classmates.
